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! :'(

You were generalising an opinion of a group with no evidence to back it up. That is the abject epitome of culture wars. You were inferring everyone above 60 is a nasty person. This is very much in line with atypical populist political statements. What I pointed out was that your opinion everyone who is Tory is above 60 was based on nothing but your biased opinion, which is a direct contrast to your claim.
It really is, but jumping up and down and blaming others for you not voting is not a credible fix. I really encourage as many young as I can to vote. Look at the demographics of the recent Polish election. The young came out in numbers and ousted the far right. It can be done if people are proactive. It won't ever be achieved by blaming others for your own failings.
Well now I have no idea what you’re blathering on about. If I’ve missed a word from a sentence somewhere I apologise but I’m not a lawyer and you are barking up the wrong tree here. It’s a slow week, perhaps we all need a lie down
Just shut the fuck up.
