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.

The name of Reform has always made me think of this too! You may as well call your party Nice Things. "Do you stand against Nice Things." "See this is why we don't have Nice Things."

I heard someone pronounce it RE-form, the way you'd say reformed ham. This is now my preferred pronunciation for the reasons above.

I pronounce it Deform Ltd.

What does RE-FORM stand for anyway?

Is it:
Racists
Economic Fraudsters
Oligarchs
Rapists
Morons

or

Raping
England
For
Oligarch's
Russian

Future
Over

or

or other?
