community of interests

Woodrow Wilson wrote glowingly of Lincoln’s judicious temperament, his search for common ground, his desire to emphasize the “community of interests” between people at odds with each other.

Mr Salmond said the papers would be "a champion of the community of interests they represent".

For example, the vaunted California Citizens Redistricting Commission’s charter requires it “to minimize the division of cities, counties, local neighborhoods and communities of interests.”

For Simon, this is the point at which the shared community of interests that walked side by side as the American economy surged after the second world war came apart.

But cooperation is merely proof of a common goal — in this case the removal of white supremacy — and is not proof of a complete community of interests.
