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.

MODERATORS
These purity tests are done by closeted right wingers too scared to say that they're right wing.
Also wrong. Unless you think designating peaceful protesters holding signs for Palestine terrorists is leftist praxis.
how about nationalising rail?
Having a few leftist policies isn't sufficient. Especially when the anti-leftist actions are far more impactful than a plan that to my knowledge will likely never happen.
Personally I think nationalization is overrated by leftists but it is a genuinely popular policy on the left so I'll grant you it's something.
