"Don't expect politicians to articulate a more convincing long term vision. The best professional politicians have been able to come up with in the last twenty-five years is "British Values" and waving the flag. Although Blair, Brown, Cameron, May and Johnson have all attempted "progressive patriotism" at some time or other, it is a surprise to no-one that it went nowhere. Politicians have their own short term interests, and day-to-day political scrapping rarely has the time to reflect on the beleifs and feelings underneath the conflict. If politics is downstream of culture, then it is writers, musicians, and so on who will have to express what makes our tribe something you want to belong to. "
