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.

Funny that, as ZS has never been the leader of Your Party. And JC is only just made acting until late Nov to allow the electoral commission to list it as a party.
But the media loves to suggest every comment they make is YP policy. When the party has none by its very formation, principals until after its first conference. The basic rule in the parties draft constitution is "Conference is Sovereign" IE unlike ever other party. Leaders do not have the authority to ignore the one member one vote policy elections from the annual conference. The draft constitution goes into much more detail about membership rule. But is still up for vote itself.
Unfortunately, It's not hard to see why right wing owned mainstream and social media either ignores or criticizes the formation of the fact that YP is the first fully member controlled party. Desperatly trying to show every argument as a failure of the party. Dispite every party have such arguments all the time.
The billionaires that own both know full well small groups of leadership are cheap and easy to buy or control. Then the majority of party members.
