Ideology

The following quote is taken from the English information section of the party's official website:

We in Liberala partiet (Classical liberal party) are classically minded liberals. We believe in a society where individuals are given power over their own lives. A society that gives priority to the individual, where duty cannot be imposed, and individuals cannot be made victims of a forced collective. Free and sovereign individuals are free to shape their own relationships and associations with other free and sovereign individuals.[3]

gollark: It's entirely possible that the P = NP thing could be entirely irrelevant to breaking encryption, actually, as it might not provide a faster/more computationally efficient algorithm for key sizes which are in use.
gollark: Well, that would be inconvenient.
gollark: Increasing the key sizes a lot isn't very helpful if it doesn't increase the difficulty of breaking it by a similarly large factor.
gollark: I'm not sure what P = NP would mean for that. Apparently doing that is non-polynomial time, and a constructive P = NP proof would presumably let you construct a polynomial-time algorithm.
gollark: Asymmetric cryptography stuff relies on it being impractically hard to do some things, such as factor large semiprime numbers.
