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! :'(

Labour are more trusted than the Conservatives on EVERY policy issue prompted.
Which party do voters trust most on...?
(Lab | Con)
NHS (42% | 17%) Education (39% | 20%) Economy (38% | 23%) Immigration (33% | 21%) πΊπ¦ (31% | 24%)
It would be good to know the actual questions asked, it's suspicious how low green/libdems/reform are in almost everything.
Shouldn't a question like this have a neutral midpoint with trust/distrust on either side? This looks like it's penalising parties people are less aware of the policies of.
Edit: oh, it's the bit at the top "which party would you trust most to:"
Naff question really what was the point of including the smaller parties there? Should have just been the main parties for that question or a graded version with all parties.
