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
I don't really believe that 60% of the British want to get back into the EU, if they don't get their old advantages back.
The mere fact that they would have to give up the pound and introduce the euro would deter many from rejoining.
But one can hope that this will change in the coming decades and that the UK will eventually become a member again.
Euro adoption is a red herring. Plenty of EU member states are conceptually signed up to joining the euro at some point in the future and have no intention of ever doing anything about that - it's pure symbolism.
