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! :'(

Reform have a big problem and that problem is that all of the undecided voters see them as basically extremists (to a greater or lesser extent), and Farage knows this which is why he is trying to distance himself from the likes Tommy Robson. The problem is that the party in general don't seem to be behind that idea. They really like being unapologetically right-wing fanatics, especially Anderson who has probably worked out that if he fails here he's finished in politics, and they really don't care about anything else, even if it limits the growth of the party.
