The Amalfitan Libertarian Party (Amalfitan: Motimentum Libertarianum, ML) is a libertarian party in Amalfi. It was founded in 1995 as a result of a split in the Traditionalist Party in the wake of the Tagosi Crisis. In the 2015 general election, the party became the largest in the Senate and formed its first government, in coalition with the Society for Liberty and Diarchist Party.
Prior to the 1995 split, the Traditionalist Party held an absolute majority in the Senate. The loss of over a third of its seats forced a premature general election. The Traditionalists emerged as the second largest party, behind the Republican Party, with the Libertarians in a close third. The Traditionalists and Republicans formed a coalition government which endured, often with Independents' support, through to 2015, with the Libertarian Party leading the opposition. After the 2005 general election the Libertarian Party became the second largest party in Amalfi, and in 2015 it surpassed the Republican Party in seats held. The Libertarian party leader, Gaiena Aquidora Roterni, is the princeps for 2014-2016.
