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.

Anyone who disagree with you is x, y and z. Ad hominem attacks due to your poor reasoning skills.
Anyone who votes against what you want should have their rights to vote taken away, so with one fell swoop you'll remove the vote of 17m people. Looks like you're a pro-EU fascist to me.
Are you young? Do you have no idea why the UK didn't accept the Euro? It was the only way politicians could get the deal through. It's not a new thing. Folk voted UKIP in European elections as a middle finger. They didn't want to be part of the EU.
Elections in the UK happen every 4/5 years. You can hardly do the same with an EU vote. Though you want to run it until you get result you want then never again. So not exactly a democrat. Something Wes wasn't really advocating either. Democracy is secondary to self-interest.
Guessing you're from the city, pretty comfortable and cannot comprehend why people from working class towns may not have had the same comfortable economic situation. As Westminster traded industry and fishing rights for financial service gains, it's all good. I'm alright, Jack.
I made clear I voted Remain, and you still imply I'm a Brexiter. It's so hard for you to comprehend that folk think differently than you, that you call them liars.
I guess right-wing and EU fascists are intolerable. By your logic, you probably ain't worth listening to.
No, anyone who voted for Brexshit is in one of the three groups.
Being factual is not "ad hominem attack"
No, fascists, racists and nazis should have their voting rights removed.
Are you arguing in bad faith, completely distorting everything I am saying or are you going to claim you are seriously that thick?
You've ignored and twisted my points and I'm the one arguing in bad faith? Lol
Wasted enough time on little soap box, arguing to yourself.
You lost, lol. Get over it, enlightened centrist remoaner.
Which of your points have I twisted, sweetie?
Yes.
π€¦that must be your bedtime by now.
