The biggest problem with the Libertarian Party is local chapters tend to be VERY different.
Each having their own ax to grind.
I have had on-line discussions with party reps from the North West, East and South that all sound like they are from totally different political backgrounds. Each wavering FAR from Libertarian core beliefs.
Something that the other parties are more strict about. A Democrat who is against a core Democratic Party belief just does not get the backing of the party.
The Libertarian party is made up of strong individualistic people and we admire that in others and our candidates. Makes this a real problem with this particular issue. Makes us look inconsistent, which is not, entirely, inaccurate.
IMO, it is one of our strengths. However, it also causes issues with winning over those on the fence from other parties.
