She’s not a “staunch conservative.” She’s a mixed bag. She’s OK when it comes to some social issues like LGBTYRTYERD, illegal immigration, religious rights and the preservation and promotion of the traditional family. But she is “globalist” when it comes to extremely important issues like the “Green Pass,” Europe-wide digital ID and the war in Youcrayne.
She’s certainly more conservative and less globalist than her last two predecessors, those vile, globalist scumbags Renzi and Draghi, but no, she is not by any objective measures a “staunch conservative.”
She sounds like a high level of staunch conservatism, as you state it, to me.
