I hope I’m not triggering anyone, I would think that a Yid with values taken from the Torah would generally align with the Conservative parties in his or her respective countries. Torah is very much fiscally conservative, and obviously even more so, socially conservative.

Compassion doesn’t in any way force one to be liberal, nor does it negate conservatism. Though we are obligated to give Tzedakah, we don’t believe in pooling all the wealth together, or various redistribution schemes.

Mans property belongs neither to him, nor to the Government, rather all that we own belongs to Hashem. And Hashem requires us to give Tzedakah. We are merely “masters” of our material property, hence the fact that in Lashon HaKodesh there’s no word for “Own” or “Owner”, it’s Baal HaBayis, because we are just the masters of it.

Torah recognizes man’s ability to rise above his circumstances, and doesn’t view a person as a mere victim of his fate.

Torah demands hard work, and values the fruits of one’s own labor; “Odom L’omol Yivaled”, “Y’gia Kapecha Ki Sochal” ‘”Odom Rotze B’kav Shelo”, “Nahmah Dichsufa”, and many more.

Abortion on demand is obviously prohibited by the Torah, for Yidden and Goyim, and so is SSM and all that comes along with it.

As Yidden, we have a duty to educate people in, and uphold the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach, which would entail voting for the party that closest resembles what Hashem would want.
