We are accustomed to hearing that we live in an age of unparalleled division, with the great storms that have engulfed British politics over the past ten years driving us further apart than ever, with no hope of finding common ground. Penny Mordaunt and Chris Lewis disagree. In this lively and insightful book, they argue that although differences of opinion are a natural part of healthy political debate, some of our current division is caused by a need for political reform. A wave of scandals has corroded public confidence in leadership in all walks of life, fueled by a hyper-individualistic social media landscape, but by rebuilding public trust, we can restore national pride and positive, competent politics.

Greater lays out a plan for post-Brexit Britain. Delving into our history, institutions, and culture, it explains how we arrived at this point and how the British character points the way towards practical national missions. It explores Britain's role in the world and how to balance global and local priorities; makes the case for the United Kingdom based on the mutuality that binds us; and calls for modernizing reform in politics, government, and markets. It describes the role of social media in culture wars and calls for a relentless focus on aspiration and a social enterprise revolution. Above all, it reminds us of the many reasons we have to be optimistic.
