You really took polar opposite to the extreme Ammi, obviously being a Labour supporter and a Tory are polar opposite, in my view anyway

I don't think polar opposite means extreme.



A polar opposite is the diametrically opposite point of a circle or sphere. It is mathematically known as an antipodal point, or antipode when referring to the Earth. It is also an idiom often used to describe people and ideas that are opposites.

You could have a middle ground in other parts of your relationships, just not politics maybe?
