UK Politics
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! :'(

imho, the only way we'll see PR is if one of the parties in power wants it.
And as the current system favors the two parties who tend to get into power, neither wants it.
They'll only do it if they're forced to, possibly by a third party threatening to replace one of them.
Because at that point, PR would become a survival tactic.
Exactly. UKIP have shown that a single issue party can sway an incumbent party.
I'm surprised there's not more vocal support for electoral reform from the more left-wing and right-wing elements of Labour and the Tories respectively.
