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! :'(

Is there any harm in re-registering? I should be registered, but didn't get a polling card for the police commissioner vote a few weeks ago.
Nope, no harm at all. It's probably worth doing just to make sure they do have your current address down right!
Probably worth doing it and screenshotting it relentlessly until you get something in the post. These things get ignored easily.
You should still always try and vote anyway. I didn't get my polling card for the council/mayoral elections this month but I was registered and allowed to vote.
Yeh, you don't need a polling card to vote. I didn't realise there was a vote until it was too late though. Assumed there wasn't one in my area this time around.
