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! :'(

YouGov polling for Scottish independence has consistently had remaining in the UK leading by 9-11% for a while now.
I'm not really seeing Kier driving Scotland towards anything. It's been broadly the same for a few years now. He's not driving Scots towards remaining in the UK or to Scexit.
If Novara Media's editorial position is that Scotland should have another referendum then fair enough, but I'm not really seeing good data on Kier causing a sudden surge in support for independence.
For what it's worth, FindOutNow thinks a slim victory for Scexit is on the cards, but I don't consider them a serious polling company... They're the same ones that put Reform way ahead of everyone else in polls, despite other pollsters having them in line with Labour/Conservatives. I genuinely think they aim to have results that get desired headlines (their funding model is, after all, to have polls commissioned by media companies).
