‘Political differences are more a reflection of different beliefs about the solution to problems than of disagreements about what the problems are [...] Almost everyone, regardless of their politics, would prefer to live in a safer and more friendly society.’[...]
‘For several decades progressive politics have been seriously weakened by the loss of any concept of a better society. People have argued for piecemeal improvements in different areas of life . . . But nowhere is there a popular movement capable of inspiring people with a vision of how to make society a substantially better place to live for the vast majority. Without that vision, politics will rarely provoke more than a yawn.’
