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! :'(

MODERATORS
Blair didn't have much of a choice. The Tories had swamped the Lords through the Thatcher and Major years. He just redressed some of the balance. He also did not submit a resignation list.
This. The analogy is kind of there but the tories are totally shameless.
The shameless part has to be from the side of the police who allow this to go on.
BoJo's dough bros
It's kind of obvious that people who are successful and interested in politics would be more likely to donate to a party and also more likely to end up in the lords. But boy it smells like buying political office.
