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! :'(

the polls are always big for labour then the election comes and Tories still somehow win >_>

It's because people still don't bother turning up to vote

Shy Tories too, people who know admitting voting for them would mean ostracisation in their social circles but will still do so on voting day.

For sure. Fascists understand when they're outnumbered and need to hide, until one day...they don't need to hide any more (see the USA in recent years for example).
