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! :'(

Nice to see the Tory populist BS working as it should.
Wild that we are a few percentage points away from (assuming no changes before election day, which won’t happen, and that polls are totally accurate, which they aren’t) Labour getting a majority of all votes cast. That’s nuts.
I mean, that did happen in New Zealand not too long ago, and it has happened in the UK albeit not in the era of the universal suffrage. So, it is possible, though I agree unlikely!
Also, I saw a report of a focus group the other day of 'undecideds' who all said they were actually planning to vote Labour. So there are definitely undecideds in the polling who are going to split for Labour. Just, of course, not all of them. Sadly.
