Ideology isn't religion.

Like it or not (evidently you do not), most politics is practiced within an ideological framework. Calling out ~80% of the world as fanatics for acting as such seems a little... extreme?

In any case, the interesting part of this story is how two leaders (Boris and LKY) can lack overriding ideology and only seek power and yet one builds housing for people to live in while the other doesn't.

There isn't a government that don't allow free market at all or offer no public program at all, at least most aren't. Of course ideology isn't religion, but there are people treating it like one. Practiced within an ideological framework is a lot different from what I'm describing here, framework is a vague word, and implies a mix of positions.
