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! :'(

Huge alarm bells for anyone who knew the cold war first hand.
I really want to see PR voting in the UK. I would also like to see it in the US just as much. The US is very influential, lots of countries would follow suite. I am also not a fan of how the US workers right are right now.
It can't be overstated. I don't want another Blair Mountain, but we'd be incredibly lucky to have that many people with that much backbone around standing up for workers. Between the legalized prisoner slavery and the relaxed child labor laws in the US these days, it's disappointing that we aren't seeing a more firm resistance from the working class.
