Ok let’s not be too American centric, I never post anything foreign related but what would you say was the most polarized in recent years in the UK?

The years that stand out to me are 2016 (brexit) and 1984 (miner's strike). Honourable mentions of 2022 (year of the three prime ministers) but the general public was reasonably united in their disappointment, and 2014 (Scotland referendum) which is more limited to Scotland

Within my lifetime (i.e. post-Thatcher), anything from 2016-2019 roughly.
