Independent California Political Parties

With voter frustration in California at an all time high, citizens have begun to look at what else is out there other than the two mainstream California political parties. An independent California political party can offer something outside of the normal and outside the control of special interest groups. An independent California political party may just be the remedy for this ailing state that is being chocked by gridlock and selective representation. This past November election had several independents run for California Governor. Here are some options out there to consider during the next elections.

- Libertarian Party. The political platform of the Libertarian Party favors minimal government in both business and the private lives of citizens. They promote relatively unregulated markets, support strong civil liberties, and individual property rights. The party is big on fiscal responsibility and never spending more than the state takes in. They are in support of large scale government cut backs including reducing pensions, scaling back social services, and laying off of various types of state workers.

- Green Party. This California political party platform consists of grass roots social change without the involvement of special interests and corporate money. There is a strong commitment to environmental justice. They promote ecologically sound principles when it comes to basic living as well as business development and state infrastructure. Their economic polices focus on decentralized government with an emphasis on community based economic development. The party is a major proponent of renewable energy and the promotion of the new California "Green Economy" where they favor government incentives for such businesses.
