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! :'(

Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think "yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with"
It'd be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say "I agree with this" or "I disagree with this" and leave it at that
Yeah I did notice that a lot seemed the same or very similar. It would good if you could rank them but I suppose they don't want to make the process more complicated.
It'd make it simpler if they skipped the shortlisting part and just treat the ones you added to the shortlist as "agree" policies though; it also would vastly increase the usefulness of the tool as well.
