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.

No because the idiots who vote for these people also want to break the law and get away with it

As long as he promises to hurt brown people and gays, they'll swallow all of his shit.

I am shocked that a prolific bullshitter would be caught bullshitting as he bullshits through his life.

The media minimises anything Farage does, but loudly demands perfection fom other party leaders.

They wouldn't care. Mini-Trump is ready to fuck shit up.

He’s still going to end up as England’s next prime minister though.

England doesn't have a prime minister.

The UK has a prime minister, the devolved nations have their own first minister. England doesn't have its own first or prime minister.
