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! :'(

MODERATORS
In her case, baroness is the title she got when appointed to that house. She isn't a hereditary baroness, which still exist.
The real problem with the House of Lords is that it's packed with political appointees - like Meyer - and quite a few were appointed after losing their elected position in disgrace.
Which is precisely the medieval shit I was referring to.
OK, I misunderstood you. Would calling them "senator" be better?
If it was an electable Senate with for example the same representation for Scotland and Wales as it was for England, yes.
