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! :'(

MODERATORS
is it really so hard to say "hey we fucked up, the majority of people wanna be in the eu, we're going to rejoin, lets do it"?
Yes because sadly like the Tories, Labour are just chasing power and votes and don't want to upset a majority in their voter base. Otherwise they'd have policies like the Greens and Lib Dems.
You are correct.
But how many of the policies the greens or lib dems have. Do they get implement.
Unfortunatly until voters are prepared to place ending fptp above everything else.
Only parties able to pull 30 to 40% of vorers will have any real power.
Agree with that. And sadly those parties play to their extremes to win those majorities. And double sadness is that their extremes are a majority anti EU (when put together) 😔.
Agreed.
But lets remember those same parties used rhe EU as an excuse for over 40 years.
They built that extream. Then expected the ref to go for the EU.
They built the mess. Fucked up and are now taking advantage of their owb shit slinging.
