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! :'(

I wish Brexit was a symbolic vote.
It was...
Then it wasn't.
But what would be the point of having a referendum, getting the results and then just saying "oh right, that's interesting" and doing nothing?
What would be the point of having a referendum and deciding that 51% was enough to burn it all without a plan?
The stupidity of politicians is not a reason to ignore what people vote for.
I didn't say ignore the vote. Your reading comprehension is atrocious.
