Replying to @duty2warn
The term quockerwodger originally referred to a wooden toy figure which jerks its limbs about when pulled by a string. It has over time developed a political meaning: A pseudo-politician, one whose strings of action are pulled by somebody else, is now also termed a quockerwodger.
