United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

The youth were saying that in 1979.
Issue is its not really true. While % of tory voters is higher in older generations. It is notable above 0 in all generations. And Increases as more people gain wealth in each generation.
Add to that. The biggest issue is not old folk voting tory. But younger folk refusing to come to gether to vote any opposition.
While youth is unwilling to accept some faults in the people they want to represent them. Then they will never agree to a party able to beat fptp. Or even remove fptp.
This is where elderly win. They have learned to concentrate on the most important battle now. And for a sizable % that is keeping left wing ideals out.
