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.

This isn't an article on what Britain wants, it's an article on what Reform voters want, but Reform voters are unlikely to vote for either Corbyn or Starmer, which this article later confirms... "The levels of disapproval for both are 98 and 89 per cent respectively"
In fact, the bulk of the article is actually about detailing how awful the polling methodology used by Merlin Strategy is here!
Reform voters are voting Reform. They may vote Conservative again if the Tories manage to turn themselves around, although that seems unlikely under Badenoch. I asked my friend group (which yes, is a bubble, I know) what they thought of Badenoch, and two of them said "I've never heard of him", which says it all really.
Explain to him it is a nickname. Of Bad Enoch (Powell)
