According to Stears, Blue Labour endorses one simple principle : " that our lives go well only when they are lived in sustainable relationship with others "; the idea people should come together to forge a common good; the idea that our common life improves when schools, hospitals and parks are open to all; the view that some on the left have a horror of cosiness in opposition to the more sensible'politics of relationships'; and that it is the question of what we owe each other that should determine our moral lives.
