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! :'(

Not being funny, but the same people went ahead and voted Johnson in. Should we really be surprised that our government is run by a load of self serving a**holes?
Johnson only won a big majority because of the opposition.
It was rather like choosing between syphilis and gonorrhea.
You're right. Corbyn, Johnson or Farage.
Depressing. I can't even remember who the lib dem leader was, Swanson?
I can't believe you'd forget Britain's next Prime Minister Jo Swinson.
Supply teacher vibes
I don't understand how someone with the vibes of a supply teacher gets chosen to lead a political party
It's not like the Lib Dems had many options considering how many MPs they lost in 2015.
Close. Swan song
