i found the above article interesting an a good summary of where we are at the moment. I work with groups and communities and have felt for a while that our politicians are terrible at galvanising us as a society / community. I feel we need more retiring about our commonalities and shared values from the government. Not everyone will agree with each other but there have to be shared values that the majority want to uphold (left or right).
