This also means that political elites should try to understand and work with the message of indignation – and not cynically play up anger for electoral advantage. It is not just ridiculous, but downright irresponsible, for example, that the British Labour Party intellectual Maurice Glasman now feels compelled to reveal the so-far hidden “angry insurgent side” of party leader Ed Miliband.
这同样意味着政治精英们应当力求理解并接受这种义愤所发出的信号——而不是玩世不恭地利用这种义愤来谋取选举优势。比方说，英国工党知识份子莫里斯·格拉斯曼现在感觉有必要披露之前一直不为人所知的工党领袖埃德·米利班德的“愤怒反叛个性”不但滑稽可笑，而且彻头彻尾的不负责。
