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! :'(

Lol. The Conservatives didn't lose because Sunak was brown.
People are so desperate to call out racism that they'll just start imagining it in places it isn't. ๐
well, it's right there in the qualitive source.
One person who calls into a radio station. Great sample size there.
Ok, and the election results has the sample size of ... just shy of 11 million right wingers. They said that they'd rather vote for a white man with little chance of getting in due to being a third party over having a brown man in charge.
How do I jump to this conclusion? The radio caller confirms what we know from being exposed to these kinds of people, and the election is quantitive proof of it too.

People didn't vote Conservative because they'd consistently failed on everything they'd promised for years. If Truss was still leader instead, the defeat would have been the same.
You're talking bollocks and trying to find racism where isn't any.
4,117,610 million right wingers voted for "conservatives but more racist" and they're out there making it about race. yeah, sure, I'm the one jumping to conclusions.
The only person making anything about race here is you.
