Sir Isaiah Berlin Award for Lifetime Contribution to Political Studies
Building a political coalition around the idea of basic income would help end the resentment of those in work contributing to support those who are not able to work or cannot find jobs. Payment of a basic income to everyone would price workers into many more jobs which at present do not pay enough for people to live on.

Source URL citizensincome.org returns 403/blocks WebFetch (also tried publicism.info mirror - 403). Web search confirms Andrew Gamble authored 'Can the Welfare State Survive?' (Polity, 2016) and the book/review discusses basic income favorably ('redesign of the welfare state away from means tests towards universal basic income'). Author Andrew Gamble is a renowned political theorist (Sir Isaiah Berlin Award). Vote 'for' on 'Implement a universal basic income' aligns with the quote's pro-UBI framing about building a political coalition. Cannot directly verify the exact wording on the source page so marking ai_unverifiable.
