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.

Apparently the Muslim community turning out in large numbers to vote for white woman running for a party lead by a gay Jewish man is sectarian politics now. Good to know.
Controversially the greens did a deal with Galloway so his voters were supplied.
The only evidence of "deal making" is that's one of the excuses Labour have thrown out for losing (in third place!) a seat they have held for a century and as recently as 2019 got 67% of the vote. Galloway and Your Party didn't run but there has been nothing public about the Greens doing any sort of deal to get them to stand down.
