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! :'(

MODERATORS
Haven't bothered going in a while, as I live in a "safe" constituency held by the one party I dislike the least out of the two parties to choose from, but if I recall correctly, you only have to register with your specific polling station when you move to another residency. Although you also have to apply for a specific voting photo-ID for each election if you don't already have a driver's license or other govt-issued photoID.
Neither is an automatic process, and the only thing we get in the mail without asking for it is notification that an election is about to happen, and various adverts from each of the parties running.
In most 'safe' constituencies the non voters would win if they were a party.
