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
I think its likely they will do what Lab/Lib did in the past few elections where they strategically stand down candidates in tory regions to unite the vote, thus stopping people from being able to split the vote.
I'm not sure it will do much good, the numbers are very close when it comes to CON + "reform" , compared to LIB + LAB. (~10mil v ~12 mil, favouring left).
plus all the usual shennanigans of rural places getting more votes, the voters being clumped in various regions, etc etc.
I already left, so I don't care much.
Fair point. The latest YouGov poll shows 44% of British voters favouring Reform and the Tories so I guess a majority are against the Tories and Reform. But yeah, due to being split between different parties, Reform look likely to win the next election. We really should have proportional representation.
