As far as I can see there are two basic problems for Maurice Glasman, one related to what liberals never do and one to what they always do. The sin of omission is the inability of liberal politics to resist the depredations of international finance capitalism. This is the real passion that motivates Blue Labour: the sense that the country has been raped by bankers, and all on the watch of a Labour government....All they do is talk about individuals with their rights and responsibilities, their choices and freedoms, without noticing that individuals are like confetti in the face of the whirlwind power of money.....The other problem with liberals...is that liberals have a fatal weakness for abstraction....they prefer nice ideals to real people.
