The Conservatives are center-right, not Tea Bagger Right, and unlike the American Republicans, they aren't dominated by Bible-thumping racist flat-earth science-denying gay-bashing sanctimonious...

They may not be dominated by them, but they do harbour them, and they have an influence that outweighs their numbers. The defunding of Planned Parenthood and the original exclusion of contraception, in addition to abortion, from the G20 Maternal Health initiative, were bones thrown to the Religious Right who helped get them elected. Expect to see more under the radar social conservative policy-making like this. The voters just gave it a big ol' stamp of approval.
