Agreed! I'm often surprised at how moralistic the tone of New Democracy, communitarian -- and indeed, New Labour -- debates. Moral judgement is a prerequisite of establishing values, I suppose, but how often it seems to boil down to saying: If only there were more nice middle class people, we'd have fewer problems.
