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! :'(

I'm a Labour member and I'm cynical of Labour. Still gonna vote for them though, because as much as I think we need a fundamental change to our democratic system, it's been 14 years of absolute shit for the majority of us, and as someone with young kids, who's in receipt of benefits...who also rents and has a long-term health condition, I can't chance having another 14 years of Tory rule.
Part me me actually wonders if It wouldn't be better for the country to have a Labour/Lib/SNP coalition. I don't trust Starmer, and I think our system basically makes it impossible to ditch FPTP when one of the two main parties are only ever a scandal away from earning a majority.
I'm in a Labour safe-seat so I'll be doing a protest vote for whichever left-wing party meets my ideals or Lib Dem.
