  Well, he’s a career politician. Other career politicians you should know: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, etc. They do not have much of an own opinion they want to push – often they couldn’t care much, as both solutions would be okay for them. So they vote for whatever polls or lobbies say is popular or profitable. This isn’t necessarily bad – Merkel has been called at times the "walking infratest-dimap poll", specifically because she always pushed through whatever the people considered important according to polls. Kinda democracy, I guess. But, in general, it’s nothing awkward, or special – in fact, it’s the way most of politics has been in the past decades. And considering the alternatives of politicians that are still idealistic, which at the moment are only right-populists like Trump, Farage, Petry, Le Pen, I’m wondering if, for now, career politicians might not be the better solution.
