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! :'(

I mean, everything I've heard about Starmer is pretty awful too. He just sounds like another Tory, it's sad how few different options we have.
O aye in what way? Do you really think we should continue with the current set of thieves?
In the way he basically doesn't stand for anything and keeps saying he will continue austerity by not giving public workers raises.
Obviously I'm taking him over Sunak, but he's one of the worst alternatives I've seen in my voting career.
I am not a Labour supporter. I am very much anti-tory. I see Tories as nothing more than thieves. Labour is the most obvious choice to remove the scum we have now. What I would really want to see is a PR voting implementation. Remove the dominance of the two main parties. The system is far too easily to corrupt atm. Hearing that Starmer met with Murdoch filled me with dread. First port of call has to be to take the best option to remove the thieves we have currently.
