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.

I can't believe it's called Mainstream. So lame. Anyway, website's here if you want more info:

You can become a member but it ain't free.

The article suggests it's going to organise for the Deputy Leadership election. If so it's a bit late given nominations close on Thursday. Anyway, I for one welcome our soft gooey lefty overlords.

As opposed to incompetence and pandering to capitalists by the right?

Well… yeah!

I hope this does turn into Capitalists vs. Fascists and they both burn themselves out, maybe get some people in power who are intent on serving the people instead of themselves. Slim pickings tho.

I'd be happy if the centre-left opposed fascism more than it opposed democratic socialism.
