This visualization examines whether Brexit discussion mostly happened among people who shared the same political views or whether people often engaged across disagreement.
A **like-minded exchange** happens when people interact with others in the same political camp.
A **cross-cutting exchange** happens when people engage with people holding different political views.
Draft version
What was missing in the draft
The first version showed the counts, but it did not clearly explain what like-minded and cross-cutting exchange meant. It also did not emphasize the larger story that discussion was much more likely to stay within the same political camp.
Final version
Why this version is better?
This visualization shows that Brexit discussion was much more likely to occur in like-minded settings than across political disagreement. Out of all coded exchanges, the majority were like-minded rather than cross-cutting. I revised the chart by adding clearer labels, a more informative subtitle, and percentages inside the bars so that readers can immediately understand both the concept and the scale of the pattern.
