Libertarian Party and the 1992 Elections




Nancy Lord was the Libertarian Party’s Vice President nominee in the 1992 presidential elections. She believes that people will support her party because they see that working for “the common good” is not working as seen with the fall of Communism. She says that the Libertarian party in terms of votes beats all of the other “new” parties and they receive calls of interest from people daily. She says that the government has become too big and has to be reduced. What is interesting is that the Libertarian party’s politics are almost the same as the Tea Party’s which gained a lot of support in 2008/2009. So it took 16/17 years, but they did manage to grow and gain seats in Congress meaning that their messaged resonated with Americans.
