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 don’t see the point really. Been having this conversation recently with someone who said the same. The problem is, while technically it’s counted as spoiled for the statistics, it’s effectively voting for no change. If you are unhappy with the state of things then you have to vote for the lesser of all evils imo. Voting tactically is what everyone who wants to spoil should do I think. Unless they are somewhat happy with the current situation and don’t want change ofc.
No party is perfect, and obviously it’s still a little early to tell as I will read the manifestos of all, except the conservatives this year as just their behaviour recently has been enough to tell them to get fucked.
