“There are two questions which need to be answered in the creation of any movement: What needs to change? And what is the spark needed for ignition?

First consider a couple tidbits:

1) The country’s founders warned against a two-party system.

2) The current two parties, GOP and Democrats, are not the first set of parties and – relatively speaking – haven’t existed that long,  meaning that they could change or phase out. Historically & statistically speaking, the likelihood of that happening is… a guarantee.

That means that the real question is, what’s next?

One possibility many point to is the Libertarian Party.  As the LP continues to steadily grow in popularity, could this be one of the top political parties in the near future?
