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! :'(

This is my biggest fear. The spectre of Reform and the febrile nature of our politics will push overdue voting reform down the line again.
pr also means that left of centre parties have a better chance at winning too not just reform
That's quite true as well. We should accept that Far Right and Extreme Left parties will (probably) be represented more than they are now. But I have faith that the people of this country will vote, in far greater numbers, for parties that are much more sensible and kind and those that are willing to work together to improve this country rather than entrench division.
