Are you a right wing person though? I'm not meaning it to try and cause an argument I'm just gonna say that everyone thinks that their side of the fence in politics is more open to dialogue and discussion when really I've seen both the right and the left be intolerant of debate at one point or another.

And if I'm being honest I do think that YouGov's poll is bogus because just on here alone I see a lot of intolerance from the Brexit (mainly voted for by people on the right wing) be way more stubborn over how to conclude the negotiations with the EU in a satisfactory way, they also do seem to be very happy to ignore nearly half the UK's wishes (who voted for Remain) for a soft Brexit and maybe even take the Norway model. I've also tended to notice that some Brexiters have been very big on the name calling during debates such as “snowflakes” “remoaners” “scroungers” etc etc which isn't really showing signs of a group that's tolerant towards opposing opinions imo.

But going back to my original point, everybody always sees the opposing sides in any kind of topic as stubborn and intolerant, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are.
