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! :'(

This is bad analysis. Most of the negative effects of Brexit could've been avoided had the British Government taken a greater role in the productive economy. Germany and the EU countries aren't doing exactly great either.
EU itself is a fundamentally neoliberal institution, the whole concept of the Euro was built on the market determining how much the Government spends.
Brexit is something liberals can hammer on to mislead the public. It is neoliberal policies that is the problem.
