Across the West, there is a rising tide of people who feel excluded, alienated from mainstream poli…

"[Because] of the broad social changes we have explored, social democracy has increasingly found itself dependent on irreconcilable groups, some of whom no longer see their concerns as being addressed by the centre-left. Unfortunately, however, many on the left continue to misdiagnose the problem: democrats in America and social democrats in Europe maintain that this divide is really just about racism or objective economic deprivation. They believe that if they can only give workers more jobs, more growth and less austerity, then their supporters will return. They refuse to acknowledge that people’s concerns about immigration and rapid ethnic change might be legitimate in their own right and that these are not simply to do with jobs."
