Economic conservatism supports the right to life, liberty, and property of every human being. Abortion is not directly an economic issue, but it has nothing to do with socially conservative views and moral religious beliefs. It concerns the right to life held by the unborn child. It is not a faith issue for those who I consider to be "economic" conservatives.

There are currently 6 parties represented in the Parliament in Denmark. The current administration has been in office for over 6 years and lots of laws have been made and are being made.

Denmark is a small country (no offense), so it is easier to pass laws for the country. The interests of the people are also more closely related simply on the principle of geographic proximity. Imagine if all the countries in Europe were one and they had to pass laws that everyone would follow with every party in Europe represented. Just crazy.

I think Christian belief goes hand in hand with socialism. The only thing that alienates them from the democratic party is its support for gays and abortion and all that social upheaval and revolution they came up with in the '60s. I think that they stain the Republican party, and continually corrode its ideals.
