Tony Blair’s Foreword from:

There is a slight tendency on the left to believe that the people are misguided when they reject us; a bit like the Gnostics of the early Christian Church, who thought the path to salvation was the attainment of a superior knowledge only to be grasped by a select few. We can be exasperated with those who don’t share our view, rather than trying to understand, self-critically, why they don’t.

…Calling this a ‘slight tendency’ is a ‘slight understatement’!
