Nonsense, there is no such thing as benefiting a nation as a whole. Different people in the nation have totally opposed interests. What makes Britain better for working class Brits makes it worse for rich Brits and vice versa.
People claiming to represent the national interest are always representing the interests of the half a percent or so at the top of the nation and are just claiming to represent the whole nation to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone else. The Nazis are the classic example, representing the interests of Germans by declaring war on the rest of the developed world and sending German teenagers out to die in the Nazis genocidal crusade.
You would have to be a complete fool to believe that was in the national interest.
The best you can do is represent the interests of the working class (the vast majority of the nation) but that will still mean fucking over some people (the idle rich).
It's impossible under any system (democracy, capitalism) which exists to cater to the individual. It can exist only when the goal is to benefit the nation as a whole-- what a totalitarian system wants to do.

Some people are nobody's enemies but their own.
