She is very pragmatic

Very happy to change her mind based on new/better information or a shift in circumstances. Which, ironically, would make her better as a business leader than most other people in the House.

She is also very calculating and will vote against what she thinks to give the right impression to this group or that whom she needs to get/keep onside at any given time. But then that's bread-and-butter for MPs of all parties, except those in ridiculously safe seats (she isn't). So she might vote stupid-right one day and left-of-Jezza the next depending on who she's trying to impress.

Still and all, at her core, she is left of centre - I'm convinced of it - and certainly more small-l-liberal than the enormous majority of her party.

She was elected as leader because she is a very canny politician - read manipulator - not because of any policy positions she may or may not hold. But then they all are.
