UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

Government has to do something about this. This can't be okay.
Its a toughie though. Political activity costs money, and is the taxpayer willing to pay higher amounts to the parties to fund it?
If you don't know the answer it's perfectly acceptable to just not respond.
Obviously the taxpayer isn't going to pay money to a political party that isn't the government. That doesn't happen anywhere from not sure what's with that suggestion.
They get funding from donors, who live in the UK, and the donations have to be registered with the governing board. The problem is these crypto billionaires don't live in the UK and the funds weren't reported.
