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.

Birmingham council can't reach an agreement to govern. Reform and Labour refuse to work with each other. The Tories refuse to work with Greens. No one wants to work with Islamic independents (sh.itjust.works)

This honestly should not be an issue. While Birmingham council is currently supposed to have a leader, there is provision within the law for a local authority to operate without one (as in, permanently and intentionally, not just as a falback measure). A minority leadership can be a thing too. There are plenty of those about already, and there's even a minority coalition in Rutland county council
