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! :'(

Considering he was in favor of remaining and he promised a referendum because a large enough proportion of the population wanted to voice their opinion on the subject, I don't think he was the right person to negotiate the terms of separation.
Then again it was non-binding so instead of promising to just go with whatever the population voted for he should have promised to negotiate the terms of separation and then hold a second referendum to know if people agreed to those terms or preferred to stay.
David, Cameron lost because he didn't have a plan B.
He's too damn arrogant and think assume he could possibly lose. Not exactly great qualities in a politician.
