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! :'(

It’s so demoralising as well. There was someone handing out (Scottish) labour flyers on the high street and looked at me like I was an idiot when I laughed and said they’re just red tories.

It’s a race to see who can fuck us over the most for the benefit of the “elite”.

Similar to why I told my fiancée I wasn’t fond of voting at the moment. Either I vote for the guy lying to me, the guy lying to me, the guy lying to me, or the woman lying to me.

Yup. I don't think anyone deserves to win. Hung parliament could be the best hope for the next election.
