We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

French libertarians?

I’ve looked up the biographical details of the French cabinet and discovered that three of them are members of Alain Madelin’s Democratie Liberale party. I’m making enquiries as to whether they’re from the libertarian faction or the soggier ‘liberal democrat’ wing (I think I’ve met one of them).

The fact that the prime minister and the health minister would both have been pushed by Madelin could be exciting. It’s the first piece of evidence I have that the new government just might be serious about tax cuts, welfare reform, reducing the number of public sector officials and cutting regulations such as the ludicrous 35 hour week. I’ll keep you posted…
