Marco reflects on the pronoun “we” in political communication, referring to Obama’s slogan and the NHS funding message used in the Brexit campaign. He argues that group appeals can shift attention from individual to collective interests, as they can positively do in a team. His criticism concerns situations where those invoking the group keep the benefits for a few. The excerpt does not verify campaign figures or establish a behaviour shared by all politicians.
Key points
- We invites an audience to identify with a group.
- Collective interests can be positive when benefits are shared.
- The criticism concerns the gap between the group invoked and those who actually benefit.
