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.

The establishment: "Count Binface"
The man could have easily just played it off in good fun and taken selfies with him or something. But no, can't barrage the farage I guess. Probably wasn't even in the constituency 🤣
One of Count Binface's campaign managers (StandUpMaths) made a campaign video that showed a bunch of MPs expressing support for Count Binface.
Count Binface objectively was the establishment candidate in this election, and I honestly think it worked against him.
Stayed at home apparently. He was scared he would look bad.... 😬
£5,000,000 still can't buy security against that
