Perhaps our resident @SneakyFrenchSpy can shed some light on the matter.

I rejected French politics as pretty hopeless and depressing many years ago. There is no libertarian hope or movement there, which is why my attention shifted to US politics and the Pauls, UKIP under Nigel Farage & Brexit, and only recently Maxime Bernier in Canada.

I just can't keep following politics anymore if there is no hope for Liberty.

Sorta like how Brexit won by nominating anti Brexit politician Theresa May to be vice president? No matter who wins, the state seems to be chugging along like business as usual.

And yet, we all continue to obsess about voting in our fav Israeli first, compromised, bought and paid for politician. When would the madness end?

I understand sympathize. It's the same here, more or less. And I can't bear to watch political talk (lie) shows on TV.

Germany's (classical) liberal FDP seems to be back from the dead this year, but mostly because of Republican (CDU) exile voters who fear the 'evil' AfD. The FDP lost all respect since it didn't even have the courage to take real free-market economic positions or advocate ending drug prohibition.

We seem to have a newish libertarian 'Partei der Vernunft' (Party of Reason) party that could be refreshing to join.
