We cannot form a proper opinion of the Conservatives without knowing just which "traditions" it wants to restore. Some nations have very honorable and upstanding traditions, while others have quite the opposite types. Most countries actually have a mixture of the two types, but we've found that "conservative" parties actually focus on one or two ideological clusters when it comes down to it.

Basically, they want to dissolve the Democratic Federation in its current state. Return to a religious state, get rid of same-sex marriages along with many policies to strip away a number of rights from minorities.

Early polling shows Japan will have a conservative governor, the parties first major political win in 12+ years. But the small party only ran in the Governor election, political analysts expect the Progressive Party to hold both chambers of the state legislature. The Progressive and Communist Party are expected to divide up local governments. On the topic of the election Progressive Party leader, President Lockett stated that it's still extremely early election and that the polling could go anyway. We can also officially announce that the Minors have won the Tokyo Mayor election and the Democrat-Progressive Pact won the City Council.
