I fail to see how a libertarian would want an Icon, I thought that what motivates a libertarian philosophy was the responsbility of oneself, therefore everyone is his own icon.
Choosing a leader for his ideas would be fine as long as this leader has no power whatsoever on other individuals but those who chose him.
In fact I consider myself a Libertarian (and I'm french) and I do not consider this Sabine Herold representative of what I think, simply because the root of the libertarian philosphy simply doesn't allow any room for consensus in my eyes, If i agree to 99% of what she says and disagree on 1%, I can't say she's representative of my thoughts.
And this simple fact disqualifies completely the whole "Libertarian Party" idea,a libertarian society cannot be democratic, cannot hold parties that fight eachother to get elected, in fact, noone gets elected to rule over a geographic part of the world in a Libertarian society, which brings us to the notion of "countries" that doesn't hold a penny in a libertarian society.
All in all I think her whole thinking process is flawed, how can one be a libertarian and at the same time, want people to do something specific. How is it possible to create a libertarian party even more...
Which makes me believe she's just another tool used by the extreme right nationalist party to grab the voices of the libertarian people (which are I think a vast majority in France as in any other country in the world).Next elections will tell anyway.
