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.

The problem is those are minor steps of appeasement and they are reactionary to unease.
It should not have gotten that far. And unfortunately voting and democracy has been hijacked by the rich who have no intent of playing fair.
The politicians did not care on the way down and can’t be trusted. We voted and played fair. The average man contributed, worked hard and went along with the rules and still get taken advantage of.
It’s been shown political parties cannot act In the interests of the commons. They can be bought and manipulated.
They had the chance to not have poors. They abused it. Short term we can keep cycling through parties with further appeasement but the system is broke. We all know. And we all know they won’t give it up and redo the system until they fear the mass
There are more of us. They can hide behind tech and policy but there are more of us and we are not powerless.
Use your wallet to punish those who continually take and disrespect from you.
Use your force to demand fair treatment

Remember you dont need to use violence…however the message that anti-violence is not working can be powerful tool.
