Political virtues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The political virtues were listed by Bernard Crick "In Defense of Politics", 1982. They included but were not limited to:

• prudence,
• conciliation,
• compromise,
• variety,
• adaptability, and
• liveliness.

These democratic values he saw as alternatives to ideology or any "absolute-sounding ethic".
