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! :'(

This is the kind of authoritarian bullshit that Labour always try.
I can never comprehend why so many people who care about their rights support Labour when they really are very similar to the conservatives in many ways.
Our system isn't like America where it's a choice between red or blue. We have viable smaller parties.
Stop voting for authoritarians who enforce first past the post to diminish your democratic vote.
Start exploring whether Lib Dem, Green, or literally anyone might share your views.
Also support proportional representation to make every vote count!
Clearly I got sidetracked at the end there. Yes, I definitely meant to conclude people need to vote for parties that support proportional representation.
While the labour membership overwhelming support PR the party itself will never adopt it. And yet their membership repeatedly vote for anti democratic authoritarianism
So LibDems then.
