The sad thing is, in the US at least, we really need the conservatives to do actual conservative things. There is a definite benefit to looking at government action with a critical viewpoint, and saying "Should we be paying for this? Should it cost this much? Should we even be allowed to do this?" Unfortunately, they've abandoned that important role in favor of deepthroating corporations, peddling FSB propaganda, and forcing their version of the bible on everyone.
Absolutely agree. But like you said, Republicans are no longer small government nor fiscal responsibility.
