Your breakdown of the NDP's decline and MCANGA's potential ascendancy offers a razor-sharp analysis of this political realignment. The way you connect historical patterns to current opportunities demonstrates why power vacuums in politics often create the most consequential shifts. Particularly compelling was your observation about how these developments reflect broader voter sentiment changes. This is exactly the caliber of nuanced political commentary that helps readers see beyond surface-level headlines.
Why dishonest? All politics involves coalition and compromise; and sometimes -- when you need to tip a structurally rigged system, opening up new possibilities -- you need to compromise even more.
Libertarianism has little overlap with socialism. But none of these ideological-types exist in pure form - ever. State-centred collectivism is not the same thing as communitarian localism. The existing state-centred, collectivist social compact could be steered to something more bottom up and communitarian...rooted in place-bound relationships. Social catholic distributism would be one form....MAximising the prevalence of independent, property holding, productive households.....But none of that has a chance in the horsetrading between Libs and Cons that passes as choice. Even if it was just to get a proportional electoral system....although that hasn't (yet) allowed the AfD to succeed. It has made them powerful enough for the establishment to seek to ban and suppress them.
The alternative is I suppose, to buy land and watch the horizon for smoke and urban refugees.

I see the point, but but I find it a bit Machiavellian, calculating and dishonest.
I consider Libertarian socialism a misguided idea.
I will try to address it at some point.
