>Those with higher levels of the dark triad of personality traits (e.g., narcissism) try to gaslight people. In the #UK, that tends to be the rich ruling elites (especially more extreme forms of conservatism)

I used to associate those traits with right-wingers and their tendency to cater to corporate interests. But over time and with more perspective I see those same traits on the left as well, with their hypocrisy of caring about the average worker while welcoming mass immigration and allowing offshoring of good paying jobs.

A good example of left hypocrisy and gas-lighting on so many levels in the UK is Tony Blair.

Regardless of political ideology those traits are usually associated with people from or working for rich elite families seeking protect their wealth and social statuts with corruption,, blackmail and controlling political power.
