we need one organized opposition party

Sounds good, doesn't work. As you can see many "independent" parties still take/support ideologies from traditional parties. Take an example National Bloc that in my opinion shares similar values to Kataeb or MMFD who struggles with HA weapon justification. In my opinion, politics are never 100% clean hence why many clean people such as Ziad Baroud did well but were not popular enough to be elected again. In lebanon elections are a popularity contest, several people follow their emotions rather than an actual electoral plan (hence why candidates such as el mur jr exist without an electoral plan). All of this to say that the "ideal" party doesn't exist anywhere, not in Lebanon, not in the USA, not in Europe. You have to pick the one that is closes to your value and the lesser evil. Choose well!
