It melts my head how the UK political landscape and the attitudes are so out of step.
Labour is not really going against it either, all thanks to some newspapers?
JWestland-
You'd think that the Uk was a hugely intolerant place if you just look at Twitter.
One good example is trans rights. You'd think that voters are really against trans rights if you see how poisonous the Twitter debate is.
However, when you actually go out and poll opinions well over 70% of the country is either in support or neutral on trans rights. The whole "Labour can't tell you if a woman has a penis" thing basically only exists in a weird corner of the internet.

Strange as it may sound we usually do pretty well on surveys about social attitudes - answers to questions like "would you mind if someone of a different nationality / sexuality / race were to move in next door".
