Almost two thirds (62%) of those polled said politicians 'invent or exaggerate' culture wars as a political tactic - up from less than half (44%) three years ago, the research suggested. Just one in 10 people felt politicians who talk about divisions over cultural issues genuinely believe it is an important topic, with 56% feeling they are just trying to distract people from other important topics." https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/public-feel-politicians-invent-or-exaggerate-culture-wars-as-tactic-poll-362335/ #PhenomnPolarisationDivisiveIssue #TauntMediaManipulationDistraction #EDUUKUniversityKingsCollegeLondonKCL #BrandIpsosMori
