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! :'(

Green policies really don't make sense. You have Green councillors opposing wind farms.
I think it was said best on JOE politics, one of the guys was saying that they are basically "militant nimbyists". They're all in favor of wind turbines just not anywhere near where they can see them. And since they're quite big they're basically against them everywhere.
I live near wind farm and they're going to expand it five times the size, there was somebody going around the other day saying they were against it and collecting names for a petition, and I just don't care. They look an awful lot better than a coal fire power station would that is certainly true.
