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.

This poll makes it a statistical dead heat between Greens, Labour and Reform, despite the headline claim.

EDIT: This poll can't tell you which of Greens or Labour is the best 'stop Reform' vote, but it does tell you that it's one of those two and so you should not vote for anyone else. Flip a coin if you have to!

Good I see Goodwin on TV far too much already. He a smug self satisfied git and he'll do his job just as well as Farage. No one should be voting for these snake oil salesmen even if they are a racist.

He's also a snake and was making a fool of himself. Reform is a circus show

I can't actually imagine his family are very pleased with him either. He used to have a respectable job as an academic and now he's become a racist mouthpiece. What a waste of an education.
