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.

It is often assumed that people of retirement age will no longer have housing costs to cover. But for a significant and growing group, this is far from the case

Governments are mismanaging society. We need more say than centralized governments offer, because most common citizens know and can think of better paths and values than what's enacted now.

It's the centralization that has allowed such disrespectful politics to become the norm. Politicians only respect people who give them free stuff.
