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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

If labour win with a large majority they need to fucking use it.
Get some laws repealed get better ones passed and for god sakes look at proportional representation the country is crying out for it
If Labour win with a large majority, and I quote, "Now is not the time to be making radical changes to our parliament what we need is three to four full term parliament's with which to improve the country under a Labour government"..... they'll kick it into the long grass.
They are no fans of PR if it means a majority. Neither are the Tories. And round and round we go!
Personally I think PR is the single most important thing that we need to achieve if we ever want any progress in this country. We can't keep having this choice between the Tories and the party people vote for to keep the Tories out.
Maybe there needs to be a single issue party that needs to exist to apply pressure, like ukip did with Brexit.
Not even maybe.
We need two parties, a left wing PR group to pressure Labour, and a right wing one to pressure Conservatives.
It will let them argue the point that it's beneficial for each side of the room without getting bogged down with playing the tie colour game.
