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! :'(

Agreed.
Unfortunatly politics is not that simple.
Simply giving money requires convincing voters. Or 5 years from now. Everyone will vote the arseholes again.
This is the main issue. Cobvincing voters to actually support a plan.
The left as a whole is far to devided. Even the slightedt disagreement seems to split tjhe vote. Where as stopping the left is all it takes to pull the right together.
Unfortunatly under fptp such splits are unelectable. And with such splits. Any other voting system aint gonna happen.
It's an issue. All I can say is that change has to come from within, and for me that means being more willing to "march with" lefties I don't always agree with, as long as there's something important we do agree about. If someone's a bit tank-ish, I'll gladly shake their hand when it comes to voting for proportional representation, for example.
Nods. Sounds lime a logical approch.
May start that myself. Just difficult with my disability. To get to.most marches.
