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.

To spin things in a positive light, at least there are more councillors representing the "progressive" parties than not.
(I concede that the definition for progressive may be subject to opinion)
There was largely a trade between parties instead of between sides of the political spectrum.
You lot can totally depend on the Lib Dems to behave correctly in coalitions. .Lib Dems perfect place to put faith. inside very Soft and Comfort faith sleep soundly put vote in Lib Dem.

I get the feeling you are not a fan?
I don't have to care anymore, it's more that I felt betrayed by them choosing to align with Tories and do nothing as they got stabbed in the back over and over again
Fucked? I already escaped 7 years ago when I saw the UK turn into a shitshow with Brexit

Where is even worth escaping to at this point? Most of the world seems to be heading the same way
In the 1920s and 30s, fascism was growing in every capitalist nation too. It was mostly a timing issue that the western allies were attacked before they could be taken over internally.
So maybe Spain?
But yeah, I'm holding my ground with my community.

Not looking forward to the next GE. With a foreign partner, if they start changing the rules for those with indefinite leave we’ll have to reconsider if we remain here. But I won’t exactly blame the people who vote Reform either. Labour aren’t exactly giving people much hope. Feels like there’s nobody I can personally vote for right now outside of a tactical vote.
I usually think of first past the post as a system where you're voting to keep someone out, not voting to get someone in.
I think tactical voting is the only way, and we should be promoting that as much as possible.
Forward Democracy us the best source of tactical voting advice in my opinion. I think that as "the tactical vote" becomes increasingly known and targeting by parties, we will see a lot of misinformation in this area to try and confuse people to vote for the wrong tactical choice.
