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! :'(

The massive inconsistencies in government were the most obvious failures of the last 14 years. The BoE has two mechanisms to play with - interest rates and Quantitative easing. These are mechanisms that take months to gauge the outcome from. It is impossible to apply long term solutions with such a catastrophic approach to governing.
Car manufacturers do not know what is happening in 4 weeks time when the new rules are being applied. Rules that are being negotiated at a pace now. Everything is kneejerk with this crew. There is no consideration for anything outside of the party in fights.
