Zac Goldsmith wants a privacy law. He's at odds with his party leadership over Europe and the environment. Is he damaging the causes he wants to advance by being too outspoken?

These are tough times to be in power. In the UK, politicians battle with the impact of the financial crisis; their every action scrutinised by a vigilant sometimes even intrusive media.
