“Of the 698 who responded to the poll, slightly over half (50.1%) voted for ‘Good policies’; 38.7% voted for ‘Integrity/character’; 10% voted for Backbone; and only 1.3 % voted for Unifier.” - Michael Brown

I think I’d split the difference between integrity/character and backbone and say: principled. Hard to do in one word though. Maybe in German (which can have really long compound nouns), and if they had a word for “principled realist.” Maybe they do and I’m just not thinking of it.
