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.

I agree. I don't think stalmer is the worst. Especially in the rogues gallery we've had the last decades... But honestly the man seems like he was never the right person for the role and sounds like he knew it. I think no one else was there so he saw it as something he had to do (out of duty or something). But end of the day I can't sympathise with him. The country needs tough love and real leadership and he's not that. Hes had 2 years to come up with and present a clear vision for his UK and I still don't see it. Hopefully Andy has something in mind otherwise this is gonna repeat :/.
I agree except that I suspect the only options preferable to someone basically doing the same things is so far to the left that it's not achievable.
