Liberal Conservatism
Free enterprise, slow change.
Liberal conservatives like business, trade and stable laws, and they treat old institutions like antiques: fix them, don't smash them. It's the default setting for a lot of mainstream centre-right parties.
What they'd say
If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
Business creates jobs, not governments.
Reform, yes. Revolution, no.
