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.

If you like him, do you like the policys of the party? If you like both why not vote for them?
I was just implying that people in the Greens have a reputation for being assosicated with cannibis legalisation so I thought the headline was funny.
My personal policies are actually the opposite of what will likely be on the Green manifesto however I like the man as a person, and respect him. To my eye he seems to have the X-factor that the public seem to engage with, backed up by a consistent set of beliefs and a vision.
Depending on how strong his vision is, I might be tempted to vote for him regardless of my personal policy preferences because vision has been missing for a long time in UK politics.
