Recalcitrante correspondería a la acepción en política de \"intransigente\", obstinado, aferrado a ciertas opiniones. Como en el ejemplo \"a dyed-in-the-wool conservative\" y en la siguiente definición:
dyed-in-the-wool
wholeheartedly and stubbornly attached to something: wholeheartedly and stubbornly attached to a set of beliefs, political party, or philosophy and totally convinced of its merits
