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.

Great. Who is renting out all these houses?
Never heard of council houses? I know Thatcher sold off most of them but a few still exist. Right to buy is terrible.
Yep. Currently very oversubscribed so you'll need to build more. How much are the greens planning to invest in the council house estate while they roll back private landlords?
It would typically be the local council of that particular area.
Ask them, I’m not in the UK.
I would assume a non-partisan government entity of some sort. The same way public utilities or public health care is handled.
