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.

Getting suspiciously close to "there's a pigeon in your bank account and we just need you to transfer all the money to us so that we can clean your bank account".

It's totally innocent ๐Ÿ˜‡.

I'm a member and look forward to getting the procedures in place at conference to prevent this sort of stuff happening again in future.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the founding of a political party that aligns with my values and if it all goes tits up with Your Party I'm glad that Greens will be right there. If it all goes tits up with the Greens we will have Your Party. Both are currently prepared to cooperate electorally (and I'll be voting in favour of this as a member) and I think both parties would vote in favour of a coalition if the time came.

You mean you gave money to Sultana under the assumption she's doing things above board, which was her 2nd round of hoarding money that initial donors gave.

I worry you've fallen for a scam.

Don't let the cynicism get the better of you comrade.

Corbyn does not do coalitions.

It won't be up to him. It's not even a given that he will be selected for a leadership role (although he probably will be). Do bear in mind that he compromised on some of his own positions as Labour leader to reflect the membership too.
