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.

A clear majority of voters want back into the EU, that has been the case for many years now.

The polls before the referendum said this too.

We should be finished with the self flagellation of the Brexit movement now that the ‘supposed’ left-wing are in power in the UK.

Unfortunately Brexit wasn't really a right/left wing topic; there were plenty of Tories who wanted to remain and Corbyn was pretty much Leave, although he never came out and expliciltiy said it.

Also let's not forget that Wales voted to leave.

But I do wish a party would come out and said that they'd get us to re-join the EU. The Lib-Dems were always strongly pro-EU but they've gone quiet on it, at least for now. We need closer ties to Europe more than ever, that much is obvious.
