flip-flopper
Constant opinion switcher
A flip-flopper is someone who repeatedly reverses their position on an issue, especially a politician accused of changing stances for political convenience rather than principle: Critics called him a flip-flopper for supporting the bill he'd opposed six months earlier.
The term is almost always pejorative, implying inconsistency or opportunism rather than genuine evolution of thought.
