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! :'(

The stupid thing is that if you consider what would need to happen to make in-person electoral fraud happen on a large enough scale to shift an election... it would be bloody obvious that it was happening. The people working at polling stations are going to notice if the same person turns up to vote as 20 different people, and they're also going to notice if the real person turns up as well as someone pretending to be them. You literally couldn't hide hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes arising from impersonation.
