Have we forgotten the 14 years of abject misery under Tory government already? People have short memories.

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! :'(

MODERATORS
Labour had 9.7m voters. Tories 6.8m
2m signing a pole dose not come close to representing the folks who did not vote for them in the first place.
Why the hell would anyone expect that number to cause a revote. If it did we would end up with genral elections every 6 months at least.
gone back on their promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election
Maybe we should have another election after every election?
Maybe we should have another EU referendum, as the winning side definitely broke their promises.
Maybe we should just vote again on stuff simply because we don't like the result.
Maybe we should wait five years and then have another general election to decide if they should stay in power or not.
Maybe we should have another election after every election?
The only chartist demand never adopted was yearly elections, so why not every year?
Maybe we should have another EU referendum
There was a similar petition about that, it got 4.2m signatures.
Switzerland says hi.
Democracy on steroids.
Looks like someone has got a taste for electoral interference.
You can tell how Xitter has become a silo of shithousery, because this is the first time I've heard of this.
Musk is a weapons grade dickhead. Anyone half decent should get off his platform immediately.
I suspect the people signing this are the same who argued we couldn't have a People's Vote on the terms of leaving the EU
I suspect most of the people signing it don't even live in the UK and are doing it for a laugh.
I suspect most of the people signing it aren't even people. Some of the signatures are probably dogs' pawprints.
Starmer needs to make this about foreign billionaires interfering in politics.
It is genuinely disturbing how much far right BS is being pushed onto people on social media. Happily not as much here but my tiktok is covered with the farmers protest and how the government is failing us when they've been in charge for less than a year and the last party has literally brought the UK to thw breaking point. Absolutely ridiculous.

Which is why public lies spread with an intention to mislead the public should be a criminal offence.
People leaving millions to their kids and complaining the kids might have to pay the same tax as everyone else on the inheritance. Entitled parasites.
