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! :'(

Sack them all and switch to a direct democracy. Why do we need "representatives" to travel to Westminster and vote in a manner that does not represent us? I mean, if they even show up for the vote.
Have competent civil servants/lawyers write the laws, then let people vote them into force. Then let people vote again when they come in and decide whether or not it's any good. A Brexit-style disinformation campaign cannot be sustained indefinitely, for everything, that's something that can only be managed roughly once every 4 years.
