Abstract
It is widely thought that electoral strategies fall into one of two camps. Either they play to fear of the alternative or they are based on the hope of a better tomorrow. This is simplistic but is nevertheless a useful frame of reference.In the US, perhaps the best example of the politics of hope was Ronald Reagan, whose sunny demeanour and promise of ‘morning in America’ won the votes of millions. Bill Clinton similarly swept to power in 1992 to the soundtrack of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”.
