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! :'(

Pretty sad for progress.
The only way anyone gets power is :
No other way to get elected in the UK, with FTPT voting, campaign funding and mainstream media outlets.
Itβs a very robust system to stop any undesirables winning any sort of power, and the envy of dictators the world over.
Demand PR from your Labour MP. Watch them laugh at you, then vote for a party that explicitly campaigns for PR. Rinse and repeat enough times such that Labour take notice. Tories aren't and Labour isn't as long as they sniff power.
Not enough people do this, but they should.
I'm not sure I have anyone would would be running here who supports PR.
Unfortunately.
