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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
While I think this is the right stance for the next election for this particular issue I do get disheartened with the lack of ambition being talked about by him. Reason being is I expect him to stick to what he campaigns on, unlike Boris or Rishi who I wouldn't trust to stick to a single pledge in their manifesto and actually deliver something very different (if at all) in reality.
We need radical improvements to education, health, law and order, housing, etc. We can't do that without increasing the money the government has, through some combination of raising taxes, improving the economy, or reducing spend. It's not going to be possible to do this without annoying a large cross section of Tory voters he is courting and needs to court. If he sticks to what he campaigns on, are we really going to have to wait for the GE after next?
