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! :'(

Check stopthetories.vote to see who you need to vote for to get the bastards who destroyed this country out. It will update in a day or two.

Yeah, I got slammed by my friends for not voting tactically when Jeremy Corbyn was on the ticket but Labour didn't stand a chance in my constituency. This time I have I have no hope in my heart, only vengeance.

Thank you for this, I like the idea a lot :) here's hoping we have some good news at last!

It weirds me out to think some younger people will think the past decade was just "normal" as it'll be most of what thaey have experienced.

On that site:

Our electoral system needs upgrading, and if you join us then collectively we can influence the next government to upgrade our democracy so that every vote counts.

It's extreme wishful thinking to expect the next Labour government to change a voting system that just gave them a landslide to one that would have them governing in coalition.

Maybe, however It also saw them in opposition for 70 out of the last 100 years.
