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.

Why would the Greens want this? They just got their best ever by-election result, they're hardly going to turn to a guy who lost two general elections for a bit of extra help.
Maybe to avoid conflict and competition with them.
They're both outsiders and vulnerable to being painted as volatile and non-serious. Infighting between them would fuel a narrative for labour and conservatives that they're "the grownups in the room"
A casual agreement gives power to their narrative of a left wing fight back against the tyrannical right wing and avoids that landmine.
Considering "Your Party" has already had a load of infighting. The greens probably don't want to bring them alongside incase it starts a fight and a fracture there own group.
