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! :'(

I feel like ending the culture wars is in the hands of the conservatives given how they've been the only ones fuelling them. At least the support for Suella seems to be falling like a lead balloon so that's a start. Hopefully the party membership looks at their election defeat as the response to the hatefull, divisive rhetoric that it was and see there's no sense in continuing with all the negativity.
Probably not. I think a lot of their current thinking is that if they can lean further right they can claim those reform votes back. Probably if they have a white male leader again, some of those right wingers are going to come back.
Some of them are also arguing for a broad left and right approach.
I hope they keep arguing about it, fail to make a decision, and as a result stay out of power for at least a decade.
