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 chance of it happening depend entirly on voters desire to make it happen.
So comments like this are at best worthless. At worst designed to limit the actions of voter cooperation.
My statement has always been. That young voters increasing turn out and agreeing to tactical voting to achive this. Would make it a possibility.
Stating something has no chance. When their is a clear path to its possibility. Is at best over confiden at worst intentional voter manipulation.
At a minimum over the last 50 years 30% of eligible voters do not vote. Those voters can very much change the results of any election we ever had. To any outcome they agree on.
So the whole point of discussion like this on social media. Is to convince voters they are able to change things. Even under our crap fptp system.
