Gene Balfour has discussed changing the name of the party from "Libertarian" that few voters understand to "Less Government." He understands that few people in the Libertarian Party are in favour of this idea. He believed this could attract new members to the Party .

	Jim pointed out that politics follows culture, and the current culture today is that the purpose of the government is to "help people." He suspects that it started when Edgar Ryerson, now "cancelled," convinced the government to provide free education to all the children in the early 1900's. Voters like free stuff, and politicians discovered promising voters more programs that relieved individuals of a personal responsibility would get them re-elected. Sometimes 'helping people' means helping them avoid facing the consequences of bad decisions and actions. And now the government is promising we won't need to be responsible for determining fact from fiction and 'misinformation.' If we are ever going to achieve our Mission "to enable endless possibilities through recognition of, respect for, and protection of individual liberty" we ~~ill~~ need to change the culture. ~~And we~~ are unlikely to do that with any success during election campaigns.
