There is a difference, sometimes a large difference, between liberal and leftist, but yes they are both to the left of conservative. It’s too bad that the Conservative party does not allow for libertarian voices. I suspect that the powers in charge of the Conservative party are strictly right wing and only tolerate conservative individuals so that the party can keep its prestige but block libertarianism because that could bring too much transparency.
Through context I’m pretty sure by Libertarian you mean the modern American definition…not the original definition. If you mean the original definition, I have no idea why a classic Libertarian would even want to join the Tories… seeing as originally a Libertarian was closer in ethos to an anarchist than the current cryptobro, I want to remove just enough government oversight to diddle kids and do meth… actually even modern Libertarians wouldn’t align with the Torie nanny state policing people’s bedrooms. The only thing they probably agree on is checking children’s genitals so “boys can’t play girl sports”… Just saying.
I think I can agree to some of what you say, I distinguish it as being the difference between right libertarian vs left libertarian. While they both agree on cutting government regulations, cutting government soending, cutting government power, I would argue that a right libertarian has more in common with a conservative, although also some very large differences, than a right libertarian has in common with a left libertarian.
