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.

@moderatecentrist @Flisty On the latter issue, some of us in the UK will never be given a chance to vote that the dUK should be regularised….
Within the UK, with some limitations, countries have equal codes. Within the UK only England matters.
@Wen @moderatecentrist although I am grateful for Scotland/Wales still being in the UK because without them the HoC would be Tory all the time (not that that's a good reason to stay)
@Wen @moderatecentrist can't say the same for NI. Wonder what would have happened with the Theresa May Brexit situation if Arlene Foster weren't such a lunatic.
@Flisty @moderatecentrist The Limp Dems have a certain blame to shoulder a few years before though
@Flisty @moderatecentrist There were enough English Labour MPs at the last election as usual though 😬
Scots did of course have a referendum regarding Scottish membership of the UK, and I think Scots should be able to have such a vote again. Maybe votes like that should be held on a regular basis, to make politics more democratic.
@moderatecentrist Maybe the England could as well? But there will always be an issue with a system where the largest country can dominate any conversation. Media included.
