UK Politics
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.

He got 46% of the vote with multiple none right wing candidates turn out 58%.
He must have pissed off at least a few of of his former voters by now. Plus this is amusing so turn out will be higher.
Is not outside the realm possibility he could lose this. If he wins the investigation is back on because no matter what he says resigning and reapplying has no effect on the investigation, so that's a shallow victory.
The absolute best outcome here would be that Farage loses. But a good second place would be he wins but at the cost of losing the Manchester mayor election because of reallocated resources / scandal of all this happening.
It'd be hilarious if Farage lost both races. And ends up in trouble criminally due to money laundering.
