UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Clearly UK should rejoin but the EU is not in any way on a "brink of collapse".
He claims EU went worse since Brexshit and the UK must rejoin to somehow "save" the EU which is a ridiculous claim. British exceptionalism at its finest.
I'm not sure if he's claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven't listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)
Maybe he's referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently
French gov didn't collapse, just got a stupid president that needs to stop messing with democracy
The good old “you’ll need us more than we need you”. Even as a Brit, I laughed at that claim.
When will the British exceptionalism stop? What needs to happen?
