I am not sure if I am getting what you mean, particularly when you say sensible and practical, those words and politicians do not mix in our country, I will give you a few examples, Several years ago it was noticed that the fleet of ferries was aging and would need to be replaced, Sensible and practical. So our provincial spent about 2 1/2 billion dollars on 2-3 fast cat ferries, had them built and shipped over to Canada, only to find out that they wouldn't work in the area that needed the ferries. Well it is only the taxpayers money, we will sell them for what we can get, and they did they sold them for 250 thousand dollars , now was that what you mean by pragmatic, or One time I was speaking about trying to get a medication to be placed on our provincial familiarly, and I heard one politician say that we should have a rule that any person over the age of 70 not ever be given any medication unless he/she can pay for it them selves. Is this pragmatic. This is a sliver of the thinking of our politicians, because they can and do say anything to get elected and then after that it is their own party's agenda. I have found that in our country that politicians do not ever think about the future, we are working to solve the problems of today, and it has been like that for years and years. and that is also why when no one is looking at the future then it gets to the future the answer is that should have been dealt with years ago. This is a bad situation and I can not see any answer, but as to your question do I use a pragmatic approach to my life I have to, in order to survive all the mistakes the politicians have us live with.

I'm not trying to prove that political pragmatism is an asset. Keeping ideals at a distance and resorting to measures that has not be evidenced would only ruin things.

A politician becomes a politician if he has the quality as described by you. an ordinary man is generally faces a problem emotionally rather than a matured approach of solving that problem. That makes the difference between these two figures

Yes! you are right . A politician while posing to be upholding his ideals, always moves ahead cautiously .

I think they have issues with priorities. I also think that a set of ideas might be better because if your result is not adequet then you must recalculate the thinking process..and it should be about what actualy works, dont you think?..

If the interests are variegated , strict adherence to a set of norms wouldn't help much . that's why the politicians choose the pragmatic approach . Thanks for the response.

I do not agree with you, as you are well aware of politicians.Most of the bunch is bad, some good are there
we have our own thinking and approach.
