Imagine wanting Priti Patel as your PM. My word.

Agree with those who mentioned taking in another perspective. One of my best friends is completely opposite to me politically but it is brilliant in many ways because you get that different perspective and you'll find more often than not there is common ground. Just the route you choose to take to get you there is different.

Too many here, on Twitter and in politics live in an echo chamber and that is a disaster. Time and time again perspective taking is non existent and there isn't a desire to engage. Rather merely waiting for the other person to stop talking so that they can throw in another empty soundbite.

We all know who they are, ask them a direct question and if it is too hard to answer, chuck back some guff rather than 'actually, you're right'. Can't acknowledge and be progressive.
