Politics of Action

Politics is a marketplace where irreconcilable interests come to resolve their differences through compromise in order that people can devote their passions to the really important things in life.

Sir Bernard Rowland Crick, British political theorist, 1929-2008  

Bernard Crick’s views were often summarised as “politics is ethics done in public”. He sought to arrive at a “politics of action”, as opposed to a “politics of thought” or of ideology.
