It is obvious why some political issues groups the way they do on the political spectrum, like deregulation of business coupled with less taxes on business. But I don't really see any logic connecting other "liberal" and "conservative" issues. Why should one's opinion on the minimum wage have any bearing on their stance on abortion, the death penalty, free speech issues, etc.? Yet, while there are a few exceptions, the same issues bunch on the same side of the spectrum in most democracies.

It's all a big show, designed to keep us separated and complicate things so that the average Joe doesn't get involved until election day when two corporate puppets, previously chosen by the media can take a one sided stance on these issues which would be opposed by the opposition so that nothing ever gets done.

Because in all countries that I know of, conservative values are those of family and life. The liberal values are those of money and feminism and personal freedom above family.
Abortion would be a liberal thought since it is in essence, against life and family.
The opinion on minimum wage is more of a political stance as the republican (conservative party) wants to keep business alive while democrats want the best for the average citizen. That is the other difference between parties.

definite... as i'm a Classical Conservative and by no skill structure or style % out with Neo-Conservatives... and yet it really is the position lots of the "questions" are directed at... Liberals and Conservatives are merely like the Baskin Robbins of politics... there are too many flavors to verify on from.. So human beings merely won't be able to placed one team right into a neat little field.

The common denominators are not the issues themselves but the amount of intelligence that goes into taking a position on these issues. The liberals also tend to think for themselves rather than be told how to think - and again you can tell that from the quality of the proposals.
