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.

Oh man, this really warms my hearth.
I lived in Britain as an immigrant for over a decade and eventually became a Green Party member (this was back even before Corbyn becoming Labour leader), but ended up leaving the party when I left Britain following the Brexit vote.
Having continental Europe political standards (both Northern and Southern Europe), I always thought the only trully national left-of-center party in Britain were the Greens.
Anyways, really nice people (I actually got to campaign with them in a Council by-election), though me being quite jaded after having worked years in the Finance Industry (which is pretty much Sociopath Central, IMHO) thought they were quite naive.
Good to see the Greens rising and I hope New Labour - which is getting ever more Fascist - burns badly.
I hope the Greens remain on the left unlike Labour.
