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! :'(

I don't think anyone can stop the chaos since we are at the whim of global events. Kier can probably improve things by aligning us closer with the EU again.
In my opinion the riskiest thing about the Torys is that the fringe elements seem to have much more power in their party than Labour at the moment. I can't imagine what kind of thought process the party members had when electing Liz Truss, but there are so many of them who are just absolute zealots. Pensioners who are detatched from the world of business and reality in general.
