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.

Fingers crossed. I wonder whether the Reform supporter base will get burned out by the time of the general election. A mixture of inexperience, not realising you have to actually do work for no pay as a councillor and some "character flaws" that suggest they don't play nicely together could mean that their activitsts will have had enough of things within a year or two. Regardless of what Farage says about growing, there is an limited base for Reform in UK.
Unfortunately I don’t think people pay enough attention to council politics to put the blame for poor local solutions at the door of Reform. Local elections tends to be “with the heart”, national elections with the head. Let’s see. I do agree with the point that reform is most likely to shift voters towards an “against reform” vote; it certainly would mine.
