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 am not so sure. I think people were much more inclined to vote left, had Labour (and the Left internationally as well) mobilised opposition to the radical neoliberal agenda of the last fucking! 40years. Instead they went with it and moved the Overton Window by a lot. It’s difficult to come back from that of course. 8 years ago under Corbyn they tried though and were really successful. If I am not mistaken Corbyn got more votes than Starmer. They were just unlucky at the time. With Brexit and Boris and all that shit. But I am not sure whether the rightwing media and public are responsible for the purge of actual leftwing politicians inside Labour. To me it seems, the old guard of Labour undertook that purge. Picking some young ambitious wanker to come up with an idea of how to get rid of the business damaging lefties. And here we are.
I also don’t think Palestine was really in any way responsible for the outcome in the US elections.
