| | Independence Party of Minnesota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Independence Party of Minnesota (often abbreviated IP or IPM), formerly the Reform Party of Minnesota, is the third largest political party in Minnesota, behind the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and Republican Party. | | | The party has fielded candidates for most statewide races and is considered a major party by the state, in addition to the DFL, Republican, and Green parties. | | | The party was formed in 1992 by Minnesota supporters of Ross Perot, and fielded Dean Barkley that year as a candidate for a seat in the US House of Representatives. |

| | Decimation of Independence - Jesse Ventura's political party collapses. By Burl Gilyard |
| | Independence Party candidates for statewide offices such as secretary of state and state auditor garnered between 4 percent and 8 percent of the vote. | | | While the party's battle cry against "politics as usual" may resonate with voters, they are wary of candidates who they fear can do little but holler from the sidelines—even if elected. | | | But in 2002, the mavericks of Minnesota voted Republican. |

| | With the national party's vote of confidence, and with the state Court of Appeals' decision that Essenberg and his appointees are rightfully in charge, Anderson hopes to get back to the business of screening candidates. | | | Skip ahead to Feb. 12, 2000, when at the National Reform Party Convention in Nashville, TN, the New York delegation as headed by Essenberg was formally recognized by the credentials committee as the proper representatives of the Independence Party in this state. | | | At the state convention held on Long Island last spring, Fulani and her supporters laid claim power without the benefit of delegate votes, leaving Essenberg to remark, "I'm watching a Marxist takeover and we don't have the means to stop it." The McKay-Fulani camp named Jim Kapsis, of Albertson, as Nassau County chairman. |
