I still don't know what integrous means.

"Integrous" is a rarely used adjective meaning "having or characterized by integrity". It's derived from the Latin word "integer," meaning whole or complete, and the suffix "-ous" indicating fullness or possession. While technically correct, it's more common to use synonyms like "honest," "decent," or "virtuous" to convey the concept of integrity.

Instead, UK carriers depend on VTOL aircraft, which reduces the selection of fixed wing to select from.

I suspect that having "obvious contradictions" in policies is an extremely high bar for modern political groupings generally - ie all political parties and their leaders are populist now.

It's certainly not an uncommon trait, although there are still large differences in degree.
