I still don't understand why 'conviction poltician' is a good thing.
Personally, I don't trust people who won't change their mind regardless of what the evidence is.

Exactly.
Irrationality and a fervent desire to stick to your guns no matter how shit covered and dangerous they are if anything shows more a lack of the sensibility and reason I'd hope to expect (like it'd ever happen) from someone in such a position of power.

Last time I checked my faith didn't affect anyone else
unlike the unfaltering views of the ex prime minister.

eh, the reason I didn't generalise it: people would see it as attacks on themselves
but just look at how many people lives are affected by religious views of others...

The media are stuck in the same rut as well unfortunately.
If someone dares to change their mind in changing circumstances, they're U-turning bastards.

politicians should havev ideals and work hard to realise them but need to be grounded enough to see when they are unrealistic
