Most of the politicians that I know that describe themselves as "progressive" are controlling. I think that in politics, the two terms go hand in hand. Perhap

Perhaps your definition of "progressive" is different from the politicians definition?
- anamax 18y agoIt's may be a bit unfair to suggest that progressive politicians are especially controlling. I'd argue that the scope of (bad) controlling grows with the scope of govt control. I doubt that the relationship is sub-linear. One might argue that progressives are more aggressive about expanding the scope of govt. (That's not to say that other types won't try to expand, just that progressives are more interested, or at least more effective, in doing so.)
