A politically un-enslaved man. A man with high, definite principles. A man who does not ask for office; nor accept office. A man who votes for the best man, regardless of his party name.
A strong leader. A man of principle, who defies all expectations. Often the hero against all odds. Demonised by the powerful, who fear the mugwump's dedication to equality and fairness. The mugwump is a man of the many, not the few.
My word that Jeremy Corbyn is a mugwump if ever I saw one. A man who could really turn around the horrific conditions the Tories have created for millions and make the UK a country to be envied. What do you think, Boris?
A political fence-sitter, who won't come down on either side of the fence and tries to have things both ways. Originally an AlgonquinIndian word; used in American politics for more than a [century.
He was a mugwump about supporting the Iraq war. He had his mug on one side of that issue, and his wump on the other.
