The imagescape of the Golden Country is what self-determination is trying to unlearn. In the terms of state-creation, the creation of citizens through access to the universalist time of credit is franchise. However strongly and dynamically it promotes financial sovereignty, a ‘Golden’ image of welfare consensus still has an extraordinary hold over the British-left media, as we see in the run-up to September 2014.
In the UK this has been understood as consensus, a mass promise which permanently delays action, and which makes the defence against popular sovereignty ‘communal’ and moral. One of the toughest tasks for self-determination campaigns has been overcoming the realist characterisation of empty time as something that holds us together, is to be desired, is the ‘people’s’.
