“Dziś partie wypłukują się i z idei, i z emocji. Nastąpiła wielka ewolucyjna konwergencja. Lewica przyjęła idee liberalno-konserwatywne, patrz Blair czy Miller. Prawica, jak Merkel i Sarkozy, nie waha się sięgać po takie narzędzia jak interwencja państwa. Polityka jest coraz bardziej techniką sprawowania władzy. Coraz mniej jest się o co spierać.”

Bo w polityce są najmniejsze pieniądze i najniższy prestiż. Tylko kilka procent ludzi jest genetycznie skłonnych do udziału w życiu publicznym. To rodzi kryzys przywództwa.”
