Florida Libertarians Claim Momentum as Numbers Increase

The Libertarian Party of Florida (LPF) is claiming momentum, pointing to a 13 percent increase in their number of registered voters in the last quarter of 2014 while the Democrats and Republicans remained essentially in place.

"It's not surprising that the Republican and Democrat parties are stagnant, while the Libertarian Party is growing rapidly, said Adrian Wyllie who was the Libertarian guberntorial candidate in 2014. We're the only party offering common-sense government solutions that benefit everybody.

"If you ask 100 people on the street, about one third of them will agree with the Libertarian platform right down the line, Wyllie added. There's already millions of Libertarians out there, but they just don't know there's a political party that believes what they do. We're going to tell them."

The LPF is now pushing to earn major party status with 5 percent of registered voters in the state joining their party.
