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! :'(

That very much depends how the Tories change after the defeat. A look in the US's GOP doesn't bode well. Big money is funding this shambles, because they know this is a easy win for profits over time. I cannot see the Tories moving away from that cash cow quickly myself. I really would like to think I am wrong. Having one dominant party in the UK would not be good for us.
The whole push behind electoral reform is to stop extremism being prevalent in the two main parties. A PR voting system would moderate any party that wants serious election results. And just as much as the current bunch in the Tories have been bad for the UK, I believe Corbyn could have easily been as bad.
