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.

It's a simile.
That's just a poll of people in Northern Ireland and it doesn't ask the same questions as the YouGov poll I linked. The date in the article header is also wrong, this article is from 2017, you can tell from the URL and it's appearance in the Wayback Machine.
This consultation by Ulster University and Queen's University Belfast shows that 71% of people from NI believe it's a woman's right to choose (data is from 2018).
I think I've established anyway that pro-life isn't some fringe kookie position
You have done nothing of the sort lol
The statistics were showing 20-30% in some regions of the UK. That's a minority, but definitely not fringe
