We have got to have a bigger vision for where the country’s going. Of course, Theresa May’s already fleshed out what kind of mandate she thinks the Brexit vote gives her, including legitimising a much tougher immigration regime - and Cable was much blunter. He said:The electorate has moved to the right, which was reflected in a rather brutal way in the referendum. He said voters he spoke to during the last general election combined fear of a left-wing government, with identity politics - patriotism/nationalism. Miliband tellingly said the left must find a way to “surmount” identity politics; Cable said Harold Wilson and Tony Blair managed to articulate a left-of-centre version of patriotism.
