about sure sure and we should come back to that but i think the conservative if you look at the actual conservative governing plan though not to talk not to campaigning not to posturing what they actually do okay i would say the the the biggest social policy commitment that they've made that they actually care about to the point that they actually went through and kept it was to get rid of the right to choose number one project the republican party on the social side that's one of the few promises they actually kept yeah that's valid yeah
