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.

He has said:

I take no position per se on Brexit... But, I quite often get asked a second question: what's the impact on economic growth?

And the answer is that for the foreseeable future it is negative.

Thoughts on this?

Yeah unfortunately that are locked in by the same logic.

The only thing more stupid then leaving your largest trading partner. Is being a smaller country and leaving your largest trading partner.

The UK as a whole is as if not more important to Scotland then the EU. And now we have been dumb enough to leave the EU. It's a fucking nightmare for Scotland both ways.
