Lived abroad for many years now but from news, social media, conversations with friends it seems that many people define themselves and/or the party they 'support' by who they dislike rather than what they actually believe or relate to. I rarely see anything like "I like Johnson/Corbyn/Sturgeon because of...." type comments, it's always more like "how could you vote for this clown - look at what he/she has done.....".

Lots has been said about how polarised society is becoming, but this feels more than that.

Interested in what others think (agree or disagree0 or the reasons behind this. One theory I guess is that the candidates are so poor it's siding with the one you dislike the least?
