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.

Honestly I'm just hopeful that the polls are wrong about Reform's popularity. I would like to hope that people would look to change from a progressive perspective rather than a regressive one.
Cause if Reform truly get their way, the UK is going to become a whole lot scarier to live in.
It it’s any consolation, polls have consistently found Greens to be the most popular in the 18-50 demographic. Some polls even 18-60 demographic. Reform’s votes are coming from dominating an age group that is well, dying out.
It wasn't 60-year-olds putting up flags on lamp posts, it was idiots in there 20s
It’s true. But they are far from the majority, or even a plurality, in that age group.
