"Partisan" is very different from "Tame".
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoIn certain usages "tame" and "partisan" are basically synonyms meaning "on your side" or "part of your team". "Tame" is particularly used when the assumption is that they wouldn't be partisan but in fact are.
- JimmyM 11y agoYes - "Tame" implies that you are not biddable by merely one special interest group, but by anyone willing to throw their weight around. A rather stronger accusation. https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/peter-oborne/why-i-have-resigned-from-telegraph https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/peter-oborne/why-i-...
