The United States is dominated by two political parties, leaving little room for the hopes of third party candidates.

With the Republican and Democratic nominees for the 2020 election essentially set, much of the focus has turned to the race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

While the Libertarian Party (LP) is unlikely to supplant a Republican or Democrat in the White House, taking even a small percentage of votes from key states in a tight race can have a dramatic impact, as past elections show us.

What do Libertarians believe?

The Libertarian Party was founded during the Nixon administration, in 1971. It came about as the result of anxieties stemming from a compulsory draft that required men to enlist to fight in the Vietnam War and the decoupling of the US dollar from the nation’s gold supply, a policy known as the gold standard.

With a heavy focus on individual rights, the Libertarian Party features a wide range of members, from doctors and lawyers, to men who wear rubber boots on their heads and promise a free pony to all.
