An ideology centred on pragmatism and deference to authority. Though left-leaning, resists the libertarian strands common on the internet and also opposes populist Schweitzerism. The aforementioned respect for authority manifests itself in a moderate dislike of anti-establishment figures, libertarians and (this might be a stretch) the decision for the Hawaiian Governor to overrule the wishes of an elderly lawmaker. Some may (unkindly) call him a "nanny stateist"; but he would argue that the rights for people to have a safe and healthy life can trump individual freedoms; rejecting the common "American" view on personal liberty.
