Minimum government. Maximum freedom. The Libertarian ideal is a marriage of those principles, which are resonating with more Americans. Interest and registration in The Libertarian Party has steadily been on the rise with a spike in January 2016 that cemented its status as the largest third party in U.S. politics.
