I don't see much of an appeal to conservatism, unless you are of the opinion that things worked better in the past, so we should aim to have a society that has been observed to 'work'.
I only voted for the conservative party in the UK because they were the closest party to my political beliefs, and because they aren't true conservatives in the sense of the ideology. They have plenty of new and progressive ideas on how to change the country for the better. I might vote for the Lib Dems next time around though, since they seem to have shifted closer to the Libertarian area of the political compass since the election.
