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! :'(

I feel like voting reform quickly falls off the leadership's agenda when it looks like they're set for an election win. What really bothers me with that philosophy (especially this time around) is that whilst Labour look set for a decent sized majority, it's far from a landslide.
They had nearly 15 years to get this sorted, and even with dwindling majorities in each successive election it never happened. Which makes me wonder if it's even a priority at all.
They had 13 years and 5 days. I don’t know who inflating their term serves (other than perhaps people who want to make it look like the Tories haven’t been in power longer at this stage and still somehow are playing the “last-Labour government” card).
