The Libertarian Alliance was founded to advocate the abolition of taxation and government intervention in economic and social life.

[1] With ancestral ties to the Liberty and Property Defence League of Lord Elcho and Sir Ernest Benn's Society of Individualists, the LA was founded in the 1970s by Mark Brady, Judy Englander, David Ramsay Steele and Chris Tame in Woking.

[2] The principles of the LA were formulated by the founding members, and written out by David Ramsay Steele in its first Tactical Note.

[6] The Tame-Gabb LA for many years held dinners and conferences with high-profile speakers as Adam Smith Institute Director Eamonn Butler and libertarian writer Claire Fox in 2006,[7] anarcho-capitalist philosophers David D. Friedman and Hans-Hermann Hoppe in 2008,[8] and LGBT activist Peter Tatchell and Conservative Party Member of Parliament Steve Baker in 2010.

[10] The Tame-Gabb Libertarian Alliance was a member of Backlash, which was formed in 2005 in order to oppose a new law criminalising possession of "extreme pornography".
