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 live in Ireland, where our politics would take a severe right turn if we opened the way for people outside the country to vote. We have a massive diaspora and if we open the for mail in voting, or give a window for how many days of the year you have to reside in the country to vote then parties could expand that to what suits them.
It is wrong that missing those days leaves you without a vote, there is pre ballot casting through the police barracks I think and there is a minimum of 6 weeks notice given for elections.
