a Conservative Government

I feel that a more conservative government would generally better the country both internally and help its image to the rest of the world. Less governmental regulation of the economy would mean less restrictions on free trade, lower taxes, and the amount of money one would make would be fully dependent on how much they actually earned. People would try to use their money more efficiently rather than waiting for the government to bail them out when they run into trouble. Good morals, discipline and responsibility would be promoted rather than dismissed in the name of "personal freedom." With this I see teens taking better care of themselves and one would see a large increase in personal responsibility. Of course not to promote only conservative values, but simply to promote ways to better oneself and avoid social level conflicts. Because when one takes a neutral stance on morality, no morality can be promoted at all. Stricter law enforcement would help reduce crime rates and consequences for crime would be made more clear.

While one may support most if not all stances taken by their party, one must also recognise that one party in control will not have good results and the Republican Party is no exception. Extremism and power lust are the two biggest problems with any political party. If only Conservatives ran the government, conservative social values could be pushed too far into the general population, perhaps even to oppression. A Republican controlled government would need Democrats to both voice minority views and keep the controlling party in line. Also, no one can get complete control of something, and not get greedy. Unfortunately it often takes a member of an opposing party to point out self interest or any other kind of injustice within the other party. So even though given the choice I would choose a Republican controlled government but I also think that all voices need to be heard and represented for a democracy to fuction properlly for ALL of its citizens.
