But I wouldn't prefer this. 'Divisive' is clearer than 'ideological': I have just been reading an academic text where it is stated that "ideology" has at least 100 meanings. Divisive writing can be recognised by its intention, to split and polarise.
It is very difficult to know intentions. A policy which operates on guessing intentions, rather than determining clear facts, is a dangerous thing.
