Does a change of policy constitute a "U-turn"???
Jump to: Newest in thread
It's perfectly reasonable to change your stance on an issue, if new information has come to light that has a material impact on the reasoning behind that stance. I'd expect everyone to do that.
However, if you're only changing your stance because you've been called out on it, then it's perfectly reasonable to call it a u-turn |

"Normal people say 'changed their minds. Media frames decisions like that as 'U turn' to insinuate the person cannot plan responsibly."
If you were warned that your plan would fail and then changed your mind when it did , it is a u turn |

Would when Jeremy Hunt became chancellor and reversed most of the changes in the mini budget be a U turn? |

this. And to add, if everyone tells you it's a bad idea and xyz will happen, you do it, and xyz happens. This isn't new information of other people had it. It's poor analysis. |

For him? No, for the Conservative Party, yes |

"I take it You didn't see the news tonight thenwhat was his previous position?
Freedom of movement I believe "
aha. I didn't know. Would have guessed that.
Interesting one. He's stopped pushing on a closed door. Finally. U turns imo are quicker and sharper. I'm guessing he has offered up a diet version of this? |
