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! :'(

I don’t know what being fine means though! I can just sit back and relax and check my postbox in a week? Or in 4-5 weeks? Or I need to print something off and send it myself? I couldn’t find anything actually describing the entire process on the gov website…
I don't know about internationally but internally postal votes usually go out about 2 weeks before the actual election that gives you time to realize yours hasn't come and raise mary hell about it.
I would have assumed international votes would come out a week earlier due to the nature of having to go through foreign Postal services. Although given the alternative is the RM, that might actually speed things up.
I mean, it should get sent in plenty of time, without you having to do anything! There should be more info on precise timings on gov.uk.
