Political polarization (spelt polarisation in British English, Australian English, and New Zealand English) is the divergence of political attitudes away from the center, towards ideological extremes. Scholars distinguish between ideological polarization (differences in the policy positions) and affective polarization (an emotional dislike and distrust of political out-groups).
