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.

Polanski is an absolute joke candidate. It's like if you got a leftist schoolkid to run a party.
Sure.
Untill you compare to anyone on the right wing.
Then suddenly he looks like the most sane candidate.
For fuck sake. 2026 politics is fucked up.
We've gone full circle again where tories and corbyn seem reasonable because the alternatives are just crazy
Actually the tories might be crazy now to try and get votes off reform... Idk I don't follow tories anymore
My unpopular opinion is that Kier Starmer is actually okay
