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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
> Starmer gets into power
> Everything in the UK stays business as usual.
> Starmer doesn't do anything about it because he's basically a moderate tory
> Tories win all elections for the next 20 years anyway.
Edit: I am glad you agree
I massively disagree with everything you have said after your first full stop. Anyone who thinks Starmer is equivalent to Boris or Rishi can't have been paying much attention to quite how horrific those two have been.
They're comparing him to moderate tories, think Ken Clarke or Rory Stewart.
But they're not who are in downing street right now.
They didn't say that. They said Starmer is basically a moderate tory, which is accurate.
Ah, yes, I missed that on first reading. Thanks for clarifying.
So far left you'd prefer the more right wing party in power.
