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! :'(

Absolutely not. I'll be voting for whoever has the best chance of keeping the Tories out of my constituency. That's probably the SNP, but if it's Labour I'll damn well vote Labour. I'd take a lack of identity over all this in a heartbeat.
Witnessing Labour campaigning for the Tories sealed that decision for me for life. 100% fuck them, Red tory cunts.
Lesser of 2 evils when it comes to Westminster. But I won't vote for them, and fortunately I'm in a constituency where Labour have never won, and have absolutely zero presence regardless. Their local branch building is essentially a shed.
It's your vote to do with as you wish, obviously, but for so long as we're voting in an FPTP system then getting the lesser of two evils is the top priority. It's nice if that actually means voting for a party you are happy to vote for, but I'd even vote Tory if the alternative was a Reform government. Fortunately we're not in a situation that's quite as bad as that.
Don't get me wrong, if it was the situation where I had to pick between Labour or Tory then obviously I would be forced to vote Labour. But fortunately I'm not in that predicament.
