The left doesn't stoop down that low.
You sure about that?
IndyScot ref- remain was project fear.
EU brexit ref- remain was project fear.
US presidential election- Hillary was project fear.
In all of the above there was so little positive campaigning from the so called left, so little content.
salmonchild-
I've not really seen project fear from lexit?
indyref I am not sure, USA not sure what they've done.
Could they have done better on lexit, yes. But I don't see this "immigrants are stealing our jobs" or "immigrants are second class only here to make us money then we can kick them out" or "us VS them".
I may have missed something though.

The right wing is happy to exploit fear, tribalism and other security shortcuts into our ape brain.
The left doesn't stoop down that low. It's got other issues (a little more real politik would be nice, the EU is shit to refugees but do you really think the current UK gov is better if you are not in power? Hah) but it won't do that.
TL:DR the right has it easier. And what jezton said.
