Pathak, Pathik, 'The Trouble with David Goodhart’s Britain: Liberalism’s Slide towards Majoritarianism', The Future of Multicultural Britain: Confronting the Progressive Dilemma (Edinburgh , 2008; online edn, Edinburgh Scholarship Online, 22 Mar. 2012), https://doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9780748635443.003.0002, accessed 5 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter deals with Britain, looking at the muddled majoritarian response to the civil unrest in England's northern towns, concerns about Asian self-segregation, and the flow of asylum seekers. It argues that these are not intermittent anxieties, but manifestations of a discernible turn to majoritarian thinking exemplified by Prospect editor David Goodhart's proposal for a ‘progressive nationalism’ which fundamentally questions the merits of cultural diversity and the twenty-first-century mandate for liberal politics.
