The Corburnian Chronicle is proud to introduce a new rubric called "Take a Seat", a monthly article for interviews taken from people of all social an political strata. Today, as our first guest, we have the Minister of Education and member of the Libertarian Party, senator Guy Latham.

Thank you for accepting our invitation, Mr. Latham. Now, before we move into the subject of Resolution #2, namely the Death Penalty bill, some questions about yourself as a member of the Libertarian Party and the party itself.

Mr. Latham, why did you decide to join the Libertarian Party?

(OOC: There will be about 30 questions, each asked one after the other, once a response has been given to the previous inquiry.)

I joined the Libertarian Party because what it has to offer is more than any other party. We put the individual first. I feel that Corburn would benefit most from a Libertarian government and that is what I will push for.

That is interesting to say, because a group of individuals is often harder to govern than a community of people. In that sense, what qualities must a leader of the Libertarian Party possess?

A leader must be a good listener and be very understanding. He has to reach out to all his party members and listen to what they have to say. He cannot stand by traditions and must accept new ideas while connecting with both senators and voters.

Traditions are what most parties stand by, yet you say this is not the case for the Libertarian party. If not traditions, then what exactly are the policies the Libertarian party follows?

We stand for equality and believe that all people should be treated the same regardless of their sexuality, gender, race etc.

The Libertarian Party stands for new ideas, fresh thinkers and are opposed to the traditional values of some.

You say "Of some", would that imply that there are specific socio-political concepts and prejudices your party stands against?

Yes there are, but I will not comment on who the people are that I stand against or what their beliefs are.

Understood, then let's take this at different angle:
Are the Libertarian Party's policies mandatory for someone who wants to be a part of the it? Can one be of a different standing and still be eligible for the party?
