... we will be a nation with a massive divide, no matter who wins.
A nation with a huge difference between the rural and the urban... between those who have done well in the new economy... and those who have been left behind.
No matter who wins, our next task as a nation will be to figure out how to rebuild the connections between us.
Can we perhaps start by being more civil to each other? To respecting our differences?
Can each of us try to treat others more kindly?
I'd like to think so... but I'm not so sure.
