Following up from this thread, I wonder what the distribution of tribes is on this forum.

The context of the Tribes is outlined in this report: https://www.britainschoice.uk/media/4yulkygt/morei...

  • Progressive Activists: A powerful and vocal group for whom politics is at the core of their identity, and who seek to correct the historic marginalisation of groups based on their race, gender, sexuality, wealth and other forms of privilege. They are politically-engaged, critical, opinionated, frustrated, cosmopolitan and environmentally conscious.
  • Civic Pragmatists: A group that cares about others, at home or abroad, and who are turned off by the divisiveness of politics. They are charitable, concerned, exhausted, community-minded, open to compromise, and socially liberal.
  • Disengaged Battlers: A group that feels that they are just keeping their heads above water, and who blame the system for its unfairness. They are tolerant, insecure, disillusioned, disconnected, overlooked, and socially liberal.
  • Established Liberals: A group that has done well and means well towards others, but also sees a lot of good in the status quo. They are comfortable, privileged, cosmopolitan, trusting, confident, and pro-market.
  • Loyal Nationals: A group that is anxious about the threats facing Britain and facing themselves. They are proud, patriotic, tribal, protective, threatened, aggrieved, and frustrated about the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
  • Disengaged Traditionalists: A group that values a well-ordered society and prides in hard work, and wants strong leadership that keeps people in line. They are self-reliant, ordered, patriotic, tough-minded, suspicious, and disconnected.
  • Backbone Conservatives: A group who are proud of their country, optimistic about Britain’s future outside of Europe, and who keenly follow the news, mostly via traditional media sources. They are nostalgic, patriotic, stalwart, proud, secure, confident, and relatively engaged with politics.

I voted None as although a couple of the groups have some identifiable traits they also have others that I am clearly not. Reading some of the material on the website it seems somewhat right of centre Brexit optimistic and the sample questions listed have simplistic obvious answers. As a stated attempt at finding common ground I am somewhat critical of their efforts.

Looking at the choices, the tribe that needs to buy a dictionary to work out the question.

No tribes: each issue, action, idea or intention is to be judged by its own merits, independently of where it came from.

The tribe that believes the title of the thread should be ‘To which tribe do you belong?’

There's more members in None/no opinion/TL;DR than in the disengaged type tribes for now.

The linked PDF also shows the questions used to from sheet 281 (when you got that far hehe)
