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.

Nothing to convey inherent trustworthiness like a tricksy, content free rhetorical device of a name. The Labour Party’s affinity to labour may be debatable, but at least their name makes a falsifiable assertion rather than just trying to pressure-sell you an affinity scam (“vote for us bruv, we’re your party” “umm, yes but what do you…” “we’re YOUR PARTY!”).
Quite. And I think that a lot of people can agree that this country absolutely needs reform, but that Reform would be a disaster.
