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! :'(

People just call labour that because they want them to be a socialist party. I would like them to be as well because I think that's the direction society needs to move in but unfortunately they are not socialist. Doesn't mean however that they are like the conservatives. That are just left of center.
That's still a massive improvement, if only because they are competent. We can look at societal change in the future, but right now I'll settle for effective governance. It will be nice to go through a week without having to hear about 16 different scandals.
