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.

Not looking forward to the next GE. With a foreign partner, if they start changing the rules for those with indefinite leave we’ll have to reconsider if we remain here. But I won’t exactly blame the people who vote Reform either. Labour aren’t exactly giving people much hope. Feels like there’s nobody I can personally vote for right now outside of a tactical vote.
I usually think of first past the post as a system where you're voting to keep someone out, not voting to get someone in.
I think tactical voting is the only way, and we should be promoting that as much as possible.
Forward Democracy us the best source of tactical voting advice in my opinion. I think that as "the tactical vote" becomes increasingly known and targeting by parties, we will see a lot of misinformation in this area to try and confuse people to vote for the wrong tactical choice.
