Fascinating article in today's Guardian specifically in the context of the UK but I think also true of mature multi-party electoral democracies everywhere.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/17/british-politics-chaos-red-wall-voters-world Specifically this para: "Gramsci despaired of progressives who were convinced of their own rationality but who were unable to understand other feelings or life experiences. If there is to be progressive change in this country, we need to appreciate people’s chaotic complexity, stop assuming views are fixed and can’t be changed – and rediscover the value of empathy." -- Alok Prasanna Kumar Advocate Ph: +919560065577
