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.

They are MPs, not YP MPs, all 6 are independents in parliament. As YP has not fully formed, it has never selected MPs. And as yet absolutely no ability or authority to do so exists within the party procedures. They are just active members at best.
A party that appoints MPs without membership approval is a circle jerk with no interest in democracy. That is the whole point of the movement that set up YP.
Setting up a member led party movement, then allowing some nebulous group of self-appointed leaders to appoint MPs before it's even formed. Would def be those MPs wanking each other as you suggest.
Maybe look at what the actual party movement stands for. Rather then listening to media bollocks.
