Moderate conservatism

Moderate conservatism is a <a href="/facts/Political_moderate/2xB7Fs75">politically moderate</a> version of <a href="/facts/Conservatism/2XdCcPzq">conservatism</a> that is less demanding than <a href="/facts/Classical_conservatism/JwTRxNzr">classical conservatism</a>, and can be divided into several subtypes, such as <a href="/facts/Liberal_conservatism/LBHdAxvQ">liberal conservatism</a>. The term is principally used in countries where the political camp is divided into liberals (meaning <a href="/facts/Social_liberalism/TMBttxF6">social liberals</a>) on the left and conservatives on the right, rather than in countries whose political camps include <a href="/facts/Social_democrat/Ttb0ryDT">social democrats</a> on the left and their opponents on the right. For countries belonging to the former, moderate liberalism is sometimes contrasted with moderate conservatism. The latter term can be applied to several countries, such as the United States, Poland, South Korea, and Japan.
