Rat might have been objecting to the adjective “new.”

Sorry Rat, I don’t quite understand what you are getting at.

Flanagan has been a writer and professor of political science.
He worked briefly with Preston Manning in 1993, and then became friends with Stephen Harper, and worked on his campaign in 2004.

Would it help if we had a working definition and agreement of political operative?

Definition: Political campaign staff are the people who formulate and implement the strategy needed to win an election – political operative.

“A new Tory operative, University of Calgary professor Tom Flanagan. . .”

Man, you better get some historical perspective before you make an utter fool of yourself. Seriously.
