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.

Neither will any form of PR. All electoral systems have antidemocratic corner cases and all can be gamed. Some are less bad than FPTP but none are a panacea, and countries that have used such systems don't appear to have much better governance than other countries with comparable weath and levels of development.
Well it would be a damn sight better than the current system we've got. Literally anything would be a damn sight better than the current system we've got.
