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.

These entire parties could almost fit in a college football stadium in America. (~120k people)
A large college football stadium. But it’s fascinating regardless.
And great news too! Go Greens!
Any excuse not to use metric eh?
guilty.
Admitting that you have a problem is the first step towards recovery 💕
Not sure how it works in the USA, but in the UK you have to pay to join a political party, the greens charge £60 a year for instance.
No it’s free here. In many places you can do it at the same time as getting a driver’s license.
I’ve said political party membership should be free, but getting it at the same time as your drivers licence seems like a perfect way to get indoctrination into the same party as your parents. Maybe it should be free after a 1 year high school class of history, statistics, and critical-thinking.
I mean, you can change it anytime you want. Usually available online.
A bit of an exaggeration the largest (non nascar or gymnastics) stadium on earth is > 110k capacity. It is US college football stadium but still.
