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.

Yeah that really pissed me off.
Even if her comment is entirely honest. (Seriose doubts from me on that)
The whole idea that the UK gov can ban citizens expressing support without telling us why. Go fuck yourselves. That is not government by mandate. It is completely opposed to the concept of democratic rule.
Official secrets are fine. But you do not get to silence democratic opposition while keeping them.
Vote them out. When they come a door knocking, tell them this is why you won't vote for them. That's what I'll be doing.
Oh wait I'm in a safe Labour constituency so they don't even bother canvassing for my vote anymore 😥. Well I'll slag them off on the internet instead. Yeeeeah!
Given polling. Not likely to be such thing as a safe Labour or Tory seat in 2029. Unless something major changes between now and then.
Edit: that is where FPTP is less stable. Once the big parties drop close to 20%. Any party can gain control. As the big parties no longer have an effective splitting the vote threat.
