Not sure when "pragmatic" became a synonym for centrist, but it's a descriptor that really shouldn't be getting past editors or appearing in news stories outside of quotes, given the implied value judgement about who is and is not deemed "pragmatic."

This isn't to call out the FT. AP also used it as an apparently neutral descriptor, when it manifestly isn't.
