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! :'(

Nothing will change when Labour gets in. They already reversed their plan to renationalise water companies. So we will remain the only country in the world with privatised water.
Unfortunately, until capture of the press is addressed, Labour remain reliant on very Tory media for a win.
Once they're in office they can do as they please.
But even if they don't turn away from neoliberalism, they're still massively preferable to Tories, simply because they're markedly less corrupt, because they're broadly competent & because they act in good faith even if I might strongly disagree with some policies.
Lesser evil is less evil. They are not the same.
I live in a Labour safe seat so my vote is irrelevant. My MP doesn't even reply to emails sent by his constituents so I don't think me voting against them will matter.
So I'll vote either Lib Dem or Greens depending on their policies come election date.
World leading water! Greatest water in the entire universe! Most amazing water in this realm of reality! Wealth-ceators deserve big pay ris… Oops, sorry, I’d gone full-Tory for a moment.
