There are of course exceptions. Like when insane Conservatives, for some inexplicable reason, move to ban gay marriage.

It's also a religious trait to impose values on others - you started that thread on the Islam thing. But you're right of course that Conservatives are much less interfering, government-wise. I'm fairly Conservative - when I was in my teens I was a Thatcher poster-boy. But the free market has been disastrous for public transport in the UK for example, so I came to realise that having nationalised transport is a good thing. Thatcher's privatisation of transport let in precisely the sort of greedy hogs whose nose you
don't want in the trough. So I suppose you'd call me a conservative realist.
