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! :'(

This is how I expect negotiations to go. We will be expected to be a full member. It is in the EU rules that all members must move towards being in the Euro and the Schengen area. There are no limitations set on how fast you move towards that, but it is there in the terms of membership. Poland being the slowest, I think. So there will be a commitment from the get go to be part of those. I would not be surprised if the EU demand a referendum to show just how much the UK wants to join. Remembering it was a referendum that drove us out of there.
