conservative parties
Status quo defenders
Conservative parties are political parties that generally favor traditional values, limited government intervention in the economy, and gradual rather than radical change.
They typically support free markets, lower taxes, and established social institutions like family and religion.
The term spans a wide ideological range across different countries: The Conservative Party has governed Britain for much of the past century.
In the United States, the Republican Party is considered the main conservative party, though conservatism there often emphasizes individual liberty and skepticism of federal power.
