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! :'(

OK, so you are technically correct. Hey, important referendums have been decided on smaller margins than 53.8%!

So do you just hate the benefit-scrounging bogeymen, or do you think that helping people isn't the government's job?

I'm not technically correct, I'm just simply correct. I said what I said and was right about it, even though you couldn't see that.

No, the governments main job is to look after the people. How they do that is obviously difficult.
