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 own view... is that the United Kingdom will have to sort of architect a sort of rapprochement, or re-entry into the European Union in one shape or form

Do you agree with him?

Of all the reasons to rejoin the EU, saying it's about to collapse unless the UK somehow swoops in to aid a bunch of unpopular right wing governments (which is basically the same state the UK is in already) isn't going to mesh well with people who voted leave on the idea that the UK was artificially propping up the EU.

They don't give two shits for consistency. They just need a narrative where they're the heroes for being born on the correct dirt.
