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! :'(

I thought this was interesting, seeing the views of a young adult who supports Reform. The article is about him having a date with a Green-voting young woman.

What are your thoughts about the growth of Reform, especially among young adults?

Having said that though, it looks like Reform's voting base still skews older. If you look at YouGov's most recent data here (as of the time of me writing this) you can see the following:

15% of 18-24 year-olds support Reform
20% of 25-49 year-olds support Reform
26% of 50-64 year-olds support Reform
29% of 65+ year-olds support Reform

Agreed. Not sure anyone else's is much better. Africa mainly because Europe destroyed it. But all nations tend to tell themselves a rosy picture of their past.

Africa unfortunatly dose not have the media industry to tell what truth they can find.

But if you know any. Id Love to read any good fiction based on their history especially west Africa. That is after all how the west built our own biased stories.
