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.

Oh well at least this isn't the chaos under the Tories that we were promised...

I wonder what happens to Rachel Reeves in that scenario? Her policies seem equally unpopular.

Labour are traditionally the party of the workers, but they've moved right to a point where some unions are considering if they should move their support to other parties.

Left to right it tends to be:

  • Greens (Soc Dems)
  • Liberal Democrats (Socially progressive capitalists)
  • Labour (Capitalists who think they still care about people)
  • Conservatives (Capitalists who don't care about people)
  • Reform UK (Racist chaos capitalists)
  • Restore Britain (Brown shirts)

Edit: Yes, Tories is the the nickname for the Conservatives.
