"Leftwing activists less likely to work with political rivals" - Guardian article

[zzplec]

Article in The Guardian about a study by a polling group called More in Common.

"Leftwing activists in Britain are less likely to work with their political opponents than other groups and more likely to think those holding different views have been misled, a study has found."

"The research also shows the group is more likely to dislike and criticise those that disagree with them than other voting blocs"

The study itself presents an even bleaker picture of the segment they call 'Progressive Activists'.

Does a bear shit in the woods? Etc.

You can see that on so many MN threads about politics, particularly about Trump and Farage.

Their political 'tribes' don't go any further right than 'backbone Conservatives'. Let me know when the Tommy Tribe work constructively with other groups.

I like More In Common as a rule but their tribes seem to me to need some updating as they secluded the fringes. And the progressive left are not necessarily wrong in their view that people were misled...

I'm not sure your final link is presented by MIC as 'bleak'? That's your filter, surely.

And this is one of their echo chambers ...
