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! :'(

Sure seems like Tories in power is “not what the country wants”
It is exactly that, yes. But what is weird is that outside of a few permanently online diehard Starmerites, I never come across anybody in any walk of life now who is saying: "what we really need is a Labour government". At this point it's just: not the Tories please, it can't get any worse. This is depressing.
As long as the result is the Tories are out, I am not that bothered how we get there. Voter apathy might be an issue in a close race but it looks like we'll get a Labour landslide without Starmer actually doing anything other than turning up.
