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 seriously underestimating ability of voters who turn up to vote for racist copium. To them it doesn't matter if government is realistic, to them it only matters that brown people go elsewhere. Clearly its the only way to fix absolutely everything wrong with UK...
Weirdly what we need is for Trump to not pop his clogs before ‘28. He is the best example to floating voters of the realities of a Reform government. I worry that President Vance would be shrewd enough to roll back the tariffs and encourage the billionaires to throw enough handouts at the economy to make people forget about Ice.
