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! :'(

Which is why we need to change to a European model.
The NHS model is outdated. When it was created, it was designed to be used to make people healthier, then demand would go down. They didn't envision a society where we would all lead healthier lives, live longer and then need healthcare in our later lives as a natural byproduct of aging.
The NHS hasn't moved with the times, so either we reform it or we stick with the current model, continuing to chuck money into a bottomless pit.
