Naturally everyone believes that their political party would best serve the country, and with that being said, it is easy for me to claim that the Conservatives would do the best job in office. Many positive changes would be made, and some examples of these are as follows. Government control over economics would be limited. Trade would be free, without barriers, tariffs, and policies, and economic status would be based on individual responsibility and achievement, rather than government aid to overcome poor decision making. Strong family morals would be upheld, and responsibility for personal actions would be promoted, rather than allowing people to do whatever they please without considering consequences. People would be punished appropriately for their actions, with the existence of the death penalty where necessary. Also, anyone of good standing with an adequate physical and mental capacity will maintain their right to own the firearm of their choice, if they so desire.
However, I also recognize that having a party too extreme towards either end of the spectrum would be detrimental to many people. Even if a majority supported Conservatism, there would still be great numbers opposed. Liberals would burst out in protests against almost every governmental action, and other countries with left-winged governments might not support us as readily as if a more centrist party were in office. Also, without the assurance of government backing, people may take less risks and the stock market may not prosper. In addition, people who do not support these morals and ideals may break laws more readily, and enforcement of certain regulations could be problematic.
For these reasons, I strongly feel that Conservatism would have a positive effect on the general public.

Great title for this entry, Renee! You make a good, strong argument for your point of view and also play the devil's advocate (so to speak!) in listing some of the downsides to conservatives being in power. However, you wrapped the entry up a little too quickly -- you need more of a transition in between the section listing the disadvantages of a conservative government and your conclusion (right now, it reads a little bit like the reasons NOT to have a conservative government are the reasons why you feel strongly that a conservative government is a good idea. That being said, I feel like this blog entry is the most personal and heartfelt of the four you've done so far, and that's a really good thing!
Interesting Renee' - It's easy to tell you support the Conservative party. I'm not clear though why you feel strong family morals would be upheld if the Conservative were always in office.
