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! :'(

MODERATORS
The constant lead for Labour is pretty impressive: Tories deserve to lose the next election for what they've done (or haven't done at all).
It's interesting how Labour has managed to separate themselves from Corbyn and make themselves seen to be electable. The Tories usually close polling gaps during a general election, but this one is pretty much a guaranteed loss for the Tories if it were held soon.
I mean, personally I think the success that Labour are seeing right now is directly a result of the Conservative party imploding over the last 2-3 years. Throw in a 'cost of living' crisis and the fact that we've had these guys in charge for well over a decade it shouldn't be a massive shock that Labour are polling well.
I think another huge part of a guaranteed loss is that the Tories have always been "the party of the homeowner", yet good luck with that considering today's interest rates on mortgages.
