Just today Tony Blair asserted that mere faith was keeping his government alive. (faith translates for me into nationalism) And from this bouying effect of legitimicy through nationalism rather than legitimicy through public approval or representation of the public’s will, at a time when change can most easily happen, our ability to affect change is strangled by reactionary nationalism instead of being given impetuos by progressive rationalizing.
