soft-liners
Advocates for flexibility
Soft-liners are members of a political faction who favor compromise, negotiation, or gradual reform over confrontation or hardline positions.
The term appears most often in discussions of authoritarian regimes or ideological movements, distinguishing moderates from hard-liners: Soft-liners within the regime sought dialogue with the opposition.
The singular soft-liner describes an individual holding such views.
