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.

Link to the poll mentioned.

A good break down of the other polls done by Yougov on this subject by youtuber Phil Moorhouse.

My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.

If only they were warned about the consequences... oh right, "project fear."

The UK had a privileged place in the EU before they blew it up over, as best I can tell, fear of foreigners, (which is curious given that immigration is now at record levels.) It's not often that one gets to see a world power commit suicide over irrational xenophobia.

Project fear, or where it refers to the supposed remainders in the Tory party is also lies. They were all in on it, suppressing reports on how bad it would be and trying to avoid EU tax regulations.

Cameron, May, all of them wanted it. It was a proper The Sting level big con. They are the slippiest of cunts. This isn't a bad article
