“We believe prosperity and social progress are best achieved when individuals are empowered with freedom, responsibility, and equal opportunity”
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us a bit about your party?
My name is Dr. Gopi Lal Neupane, PhD in Industrial Management Psychology and I am the Chairperson of Nepal Liberal Party. I have 30+ years University teaching and management experience. I have written several books on financial literacy and building libertarian values among which Nepal at the Verge of Capitalism and Nepalese Psychology are among the most appreciated by readers.
Our party, the Nepal Liberal Party, advocates for individual freedom, classical liberalism, and liberty-centred governance. We believe prosperity and social progress are best achieved when individuals are empowered with freedom, responsibility, and equal opportunity under a fair legal framework.
“Our party champions policies that strengthen economic freedom, rule of law”
What do you see as the major challenges facing Nepal and what policies is the party championing?
Nepal faces several major challenges:
- Inflation and rising cost of living
- Poverty and unemployment
- Weak rule of law
- Corruption
- Collective ideology limiting individual initiative
- Limited infrastructure development
- Moral and governance challenges
- Difficulty in doing business and entrepreneurship barriers
Our party champions policies that strengthen economic freedom, rule of law, entrepreneurship, private enterprise, property rights, individual liberty, and transparent governance.
“We believe freedom is a universal value. Let us unite liberals across the globe in support of liberty, human dignity, free enterprise”
If you could introduce policies to change just 3 things in Nepal, what would they be?
If we could prioritize three major changes, they would be:
- Strengthening individual freedom
- Advancing classical liberal economic and political principles
- Establishing and promoting liberal democratic values throughout society
We believe these reforms would create a stronger foundation for prosperity, innovation, and social development.
Is there anything else you want to say to our readers?
We believe freedom is a universal value. Let us unite liberals across the globe in support of liberty, human dignity, free enterprise, and peaceful cooperation among nations.
