There is a general political rationale which doesn’t get much of a public airing, possibly because major political actors put so much effort into disguising how they rationalise their mendacity and incompetence. Yet the two-tier jibes are bringing it to the surface.
An obvious example here in the UK is mass immigration. Any senior politician or bureaucrat could rationalise it via the large material uplift a developed country offers to incomers from a less developed one.
Do elites rationalise this way among themselves? Of course they they do, they must as it’s too obvious to miss. Morally deceitful but conveniently simple.
From a globalist perspective, it is a superior person’s rationale because the wider voting population is excluded. This is almost certainly what is meant by levelling up, it doesn’t include voters.

For ambitious political mediocrities it’s too easy to resist, they flock to it like vultures, and will do until the carcass is no more.

It's very difficult to imagine what they do in private and how they interact with one another. When the latest immigration stats are published by the ONS, for example, telling us we've just accepted a new city's worth of unskilled third-worlders into the UK, what actually happens?
Do they all smile and nod, or high-five if the intake is spectacularly large? Does any member of the cabinet raise an objection along the lines that their department won't be able to cope? Or do they wince ruefully, knowing that this spells big trouble later, but none of them can do much about it? Is there a standard position which they rehearse, independent from what they will say to the media?
Sam - it would be very difficult to resist some kind of internally circulated rationale to push back on such a major failure. To my mind, the idea of doing something positive for immigrants would be too tempting for anyone with a globalist outlook, tempting enough to assume that's what they do.
