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! :'(

Largely the same, but with a small LD bump at least.
I despair at people.
Same but there was also an equally sized labour surge that kept the SNP out.
Labour absolutely need to accept that this was a vote against the Tories and that they'll really need to make some positive changes that the average person can feel if they want to win the next election.
The Tories will not be chasing the labour electorate, they will be chasing reform's. If they can mop up the right vote they will be straight back in to power.
That doesn't say much for Clacton does it?
