Are there any parties that support libertarianism or anarcho-capitalism?

From the animal party Wiki page -

The party does consider itself to be a testimonial party, which does not seek to gain political power, but only to testify to its beliefs and thereby influence other parties.

It's a completely foreign concept to me. I mean, I understand it just fine, but the idea of any party here trying to pull that off...it just wouldn't happen. Having a two-party system rather than a coalition system, though, probably skews perception a bit.

Our politics are way more based on cooperation then yours. There have been plenty of initiatives proposed to our parliament by opposition parties the last 4 years for example. They got approved because they where good plans that could carry majority support

Also if you dont like a party you voted for, you have alternatives in your spectrum instead of having to make a 180

As shown by the left voters in NL, They abandoned Labor and went to Greens and Liberals who share similar vision but with other nuances.

There are several such splinter parties in Europe. Germany, for example, had for a long while the bizarre Autofahrerpartei (Motorist Party) that didn't actually seek for or expect political power, but just lobby for the interests of people who drive cars.
