Where are people even getting the money to launch these groups and hold their own conferences?

Cancelled infrastructure projects like the northern leg of HS2.

Money in politics in the US is ridiculous.

Politicians here are cheap but at least it’s not prohibitively expensive to run for everyone. I know there are barriers that shouldn’t be there.

Both country have this corruption problem. The US is just further along because they have a higher proportion of crazy christians to tap into.

Can’t disagree with that notion.

Political reform is required before we get all the way down theUS-style rabbit hole.

[-] jabjoe@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

I don't think we'll either go as far as them. But we desperately need political reform to not find out how far in that direction we'd go. Though maybe we already hit rock bottom now. Fingers crossed. The crazy rightwing stuff is a real vote loser.

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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
