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! :'(

Wes Streetin always struck me as an odd choice for a ministerial position. He generally just seems to go out of his way to put his foot in his mouth.
Because he thinks speaking confidently about something is the same as actually knowing what hes talking about.
He also has a massive throbber for the private sector, which compromises his stance on things.
He's gonna be the next leader so get used to him!
I don't really think the membership is all that keen on him though so I'm not sure how easy that would be for him to achieve. There are others that I can think of as more likely candidates for future party leader.
