It is perfectly ok for someone to believe the government shouldn't be mandating something, but to demand it yourself in negotiations. Such as... a clothing budget, or reimbursement for travel, or a super-ergonomic mouse & keyboard, etc. Can everyone demand such things? No. But that doesn't mean that someone who doesn't believe the government should be mandating it is acting opposite to his actual beliefs.
