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.

Seems like this poll can tell you which is the best 'stop Reform' vote OP.
Like the headline, that claim is inaccurate editorialising by the author. The margin of error makes it impossible to make such a statement definitively. It's quite possible that Labour is 'actually' ahead of Reform, with the Greens in 3rd. Someone reading this claim and concluding they should therefore vote Green (and not Labour, as they were previously leaning) might thereby help hand the victory to Reform.
That said, I absolutely wouldn't blame anyone for taking this as a reason to vote Green to stop Reform. It's just that the evidence you should vote Labour for the same reason is exactly as good.
Good explanation. Maybe people should just vote for the party they think best represents their views then? How novel.
I'm normally very opposed to tactical voting, for this reason (people should vote for who they want!) but I will make an exception to defeat fascism.
