Not one.

Disagree on this point. Pubs lost because they abandoned moral values and are the friends of liberal democrats and their socialist one world agenda of government is your parent mentality.
Conservatism works but the republicans have abandoned it and it shows.
I'm from Germany. Merz, a leading pol here, said that a truly conservative party would get max 25% here in Germany. But that means it would become a swing party, which is much better than being a mushy "majority" party having to constantly water down policies, worrying about the "swing voters" or pandering to minorities.
