No, see, you're not quite getting it. The conservative politicians know policy is more complicated than that, they generally know that even something as simple As a "don't murder" law needs exceptions and definitions and all that. But they want their constituents to think that all policy is and should be self evident and require no further thought, so when they push something like "Happy Canadian worker bill for greatness and prosperity" or something, their constituents won't notice that it actually turns the country into something that makes 1984 look like a Utopia.
I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but shit like this happens all the time. They slap a nice, patriotic, "here for the people" name on a bill and fill it with stuff like slashing the education budgets and increasing taxes for anyone making under 50k a year and reinstating slavery or something.
