General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I'm 100% going to vote for Khan anyway, to be clear!

My issue with him is that I feel like he lacks distinctiveness. Other than the hopper fair, what policies has he really brought to the table? He did manage to eventually get rid of Cressida Dick, which was good. And I'm happy with the expansion of bike lanes and LTNs (I'd like them to go further), but those were pretty much baked in by his predecessor or enforced by the Government. On the negative side, there was Silvertown, a disaster waiting to happen which he could've prevented.

Obviously, the mayoral role is pretty powerless, but he could use the soapbox better, IMO.
