With the election of Barak Obama, Lord Chris Patten, one of the world's leading conservative thinkers has voiced this. The Republicans in the 1980's protected the interests of the very rich. They focused on abortion, gun control, the nastiness of foreigners, and gay marriage to keep from the real issues.
Lord Patten is promoting his latest book, "What Next? Surviving the Twenty-First Century" which tackles the big problems of the world-terrorism, nuclear prolifferation, climate change drugs, etc. Conservative governnments are not on top in the English-speaking world, except Canada and New Zealand , not because of conservatism, but because of the incompetence in the US and the UK.
