Three lines of thinking that point in the direction of maybe it’s good for politicians to keep quiet about (many of) their unpopular views.
Note that the linked podcast is not merely arguing that politicians should keep quiet about their views, it’s also arguing that their fellow partisans in e.g. think-tanks and opinion sections should also keep quiet, because people can tell that the politicians secretly believe what the think-tankers and opinionists openly say. I think these arguments don’t imply that those think-tankers and opinionists should keep quiet.
