quote 15:34:05
“ Here is one of the enduring ironies of democratic politics: it makes available a mass of new information about how messy life is while producing a greatly simplified political structure in which small numbers of people can claim to speak for everybody. ”
David Runciman in the London Review of Books article Socialism in One County, a review of the thinking of “Blue Labour” (but this quote seems apposite to US politics at the time of the debt crisis).
