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.

One in six Tory voters are likely to be dead by the next election. Assuming nothing else changes, the total impact of demographic change alone would mean +29 seats for Labour and -34 for the Cons (x.com)

Oh I'd be toast in Logan's Run but the sacrifice would be worth it to keep the Tories out.

I think we may need more then just removing the old from logins run.

Older people turn right not due to being old. But due to responsibilities (children also depts etc but mainly children) and the need to protect that wealth to cover responsibilities.

So to ensure we don't just end up with people turning right at a younger age. We would need to remove generational wealth. IE the whole idea of being able to make life better or worse for your children. As the risk of having nothing to aid your children is the pressure that turns many right.

So we need to move to nationalised breeding programs and state raising of children.

Much like the show indicated.

Honestly add the invention of teleportation and nationalisation of tinder gets us pretty close to how the show managed that as well.

That's been tried, didn't work out well.

Did you get the very first job you applied for?

Win the very first game of any sport.

Yeah you get the point. As much as I am kidding about removing children from parents etc.

Something failing in the past is not evidence of it invalidity as a solution. Just the need to reevaluate the methodology.

Maybe matrix should be our movie rather the logins run on that part. ;) remove all human interaction untill adult and brainwash the little shitheads to vote appropriately.

I have yet to win any game of sport, unless games count.

Grins no difference here. I wanted to use England World Cup. But other then 66 I have absolutely no idea if we ever won before that.
