Actually, even in the US, there's disagreement over what the word
conservative means. I describe myself as very politically conservative,
and folks are surprised when I'm an anti-christian heathen.

When I say conservative, I mean something like: cmalu turni sarji
When other folks here say it, they tend to mean: slabu tadji sarji

To answer your question, I'm not sure the words exist yet, but it
wouldn't be hard to make them. (Although we'll all be fighting over the
glosses.)
