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! :'(

Let know Sunak know there really is people who want an election.

No one expects a result from this. What is all about is, stopping the BS that Sunak spouts, when he states that no one wants an election. Get a million signatures on that petition, and he becomes a fish in a barrel.

Do you take everything people say literally?

Do you really think the damage these scumbags have done to this country is something to be light hearted about? Go to your local foodbank (yes, everyone has one now), see how your jokes go down there.

Oh, get over yourself. There's food banks all over Europe, is that the fault of this government as well?

They're very unlikely to still be in power after the next election, so I don't know what you're worried about.

Every time a genelec comes around it's always "there's no way they'll still win" but they have. Time and time again.

Who has been saying that though?

I'm guessing people who don't pay attention, because only 2015 was really in doubt and that was only because the opinion polls failed. 2010, 2017 and 2019 have never looked like anything other than a Conservative win.
