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! :'(

If you think Labour are shit, don't vote for them. If that causes the Tories to get back in then that can't be your fault. You shouldn't have to have a deep understanding of the political machine to vote effectively. Vote for the party you want.
I broadly agree with you. It's just that there are a lot of people here saying '(1) I want the Tories out but (2) I won't vote Labour' and my point is that (1) and (2) are, for almost every voter, mutually exclusive. As we've learned over the last few years, you really can't have your cake and eat it!
