2-3) Reminds me a bit of Blair, who talked a good electoral reform game before he was elected, then fizzled and didn't do anything to implement it. The kindest explanation is that he was in favor of it, but knew he couldn't get it past the other powers in the party, and he didn't want to bring that conflict out in the open, so he fudged it. Which is typical of Blair's handling of any contentious problem.
