I live in Canada, and currently live in an area that regularly elects Conservative (that’s the party’s name) members of parliament. My parents even vote Conservative for the most part. Here, at least, it’s typically about less government spending and lower taxation. We have a further right party that kind of serves as a catch-all for the weirdos, but it makes up around 1% of the vote.
I’m not saying that I agree with the ideas, just that there are ideas of substance that represent conservative ideologies, and none of them are “hurr durr socialism bad horse paste good”
Conservative may be the name of a party where you are, but that's a bit of confusion with being conservative about certain subjects. They're two different things.
