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.

The fact I could see the death of both The Conservative Party and Labour during my lifetime is wild.

Things have been getting to a boiling point for a decade now so yeah, this could be the title of this chapter in the history books: The Modern British Political Restart.

Don't get ahead of yourself, wasn't Change UK supposed to do that too?

With the rise of Reform, splitting the left vote even more might lead to a Farridge led government next time. I wonder why they didn't join the Greens instead.

God, I hope this doesn't give Reform a chance to win the next election.
