No pun intended but it sure does seem a perfect fit
A Canadian term for a career politician, one whose main goal is to climb the party ladder and get power, not to make real change or help his constituents. Typically reserved for members of the Conservative Party of Canada who hold neoliberal economic views and who advocate socially liberal policies. Called brownshoes due to their habit of wearing poor quality, badly fitted blue suits with clunky brown shoes to look casual and "appeal" to middle class voters.
