Oh, good suggestions.  I think {choHqangbe'wI'pu'} captures "conservative
elements" very well.

Why?  The subject is the {choHqangbe'wI'pu'} here.  Is the connection with
the previous sentence not clear enough?

Qov:
> I might go to something incorporating HeghvIS QaQ law' torvIS QaQ puS.

I had considered a variation of that line.  I thought it might be a little
bit too blunt considering that a conservative Klingon says exactly this
later in the movie.  OTOH maybe the Klingon translation should be more
blunt/less subtle than the English dialogue.
