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! :'(

My response to that would be labour will be a hell of a lot better than any other realistic option.
The ship is sinking and you're complaining about the quality of the lifeboat. Sure it might not be the best lifeboat in the world, but it's the only lifeboat currently attached to the sinking ship, so it's really the only one worth talking about.
Just a shame the alternative vote system never went through for Westminster despite being used in the rest of the country
Labour are getting in without a doubt although we shouldn't settle for less evil, maybe the left will move to a left party after labour shows how much they care for the working class
1983…?
I'm so sorry, I meant 1992.
Okay dave
Please don't call me Dave.
Not a problem fellow user
Thanks. Sorry for not being clear earlier, especially with giving the wrong year! I was writing long text on another thread. I was referring to Labour losing the general election having been a long way ahead in the polls before it was called. It's not a forgone conclusion, it depends strongly on how people choose to use their vote.
Ah yes I did wonder what the date was about.
It definitely seems more likely labour then any other party, Tories are jumping ship to labour but you are right, its not finite till the votes are counted.
Are you voting?
I agree with all of that, and yes, definitely, I always do.
