I've found that conservative and liberal mean different things in different countries. What is the conservative parties strong platform positions? Are they somewhat congruent with us conservative issues?

Why do the talking heads sound EXACTLY the same during elections as they do during the playoffs?

And they certainly do not campaign on social conservative issues (that would be the electoral kiss of death for them).
