But what is the name of a group of jack-o'-lanterns? I think two names might be needed: On a crisp, cold and clear Halloween, they are perhaps a cackle... or maybe a coven, or a leering or even a haunting of jack-o'-lanterns.

But the day after the night before, in rainy grey London, they are just a sorry sight to behold: they are jack-o'-lanterns no more, misshapen and decaying ...alas, nothing more than a woefulness of pumpkins.

You should be more concerned with what to call a group of libertarians. A nightwatch? A spontaneous order?

...or maybe a 'disagreement of libertarians'?

I'm with Sasha.

And, a party of Libertarians is a much more likely to succeed than a Libertarian Party.
