    No, you back agreed cabinet positions of the party they represent. As the leader chooses the cabinet, the cabinet represents his position on things.

    You’re elected to represent the people that elect you and have a mandate to change things.

    Ultimately the people in charge have either no backbone/integrity, or there are really really good incentives/reasons to abandon your previous position…

      How is what you’re saying in your first paragraph any different to what I said?

        I thought you were insinuating that government positions were old entrenched ones that existed before they were elected.

        Sometimes they are. Selling weapons to Saudi’s, backing Israel is a long running theme.

        It felt like you were justifying the decision by downplaying their agency.
