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.

This is a pretty scary statement. It seems like the Conservatives (the official opposition) see Reform as their opposition and are just trying to counter their policy by trying to sit further right. This seems bonkers to me and will only normalise this sort of discourse, also pushing other parties further right.
I do wonder if we had a voting system and parliament which encouraged party collaboration we would have such issues.
good luck campaigning on that with an African, Black, woman as the candidate for prime minister. The party base have said it with Sunak, and they're going to say it again to Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch.
I don't think there's any problem with an ethnic woman being prime minister, however, the right wing arseholes definately will.
