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! :'(

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.
