Although I'm not a conservative myself, I still see a case to be made for a government that is "conservative". I.e. a government that doesn't respond with a law for every single small thing. There is a danger to turn a country into a bureaucratic nightmare. Where people will find loopholes in laws, and a government responds by patching that loophole up with another law or clause. A labyrinth of laws can and will cause suffering for people that are edge cases.

Or do I read the term "government conservatism" wrong here?
