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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Let's definitely pretend one is better than the other.
One seeks an egalitarian future where people's needs are met and power imbalances are kept in check.
The other seeks strict hierarchy where only those at the tops needs are met, by those at the bottom. And power is kept firmly in the hands of those who wield it.
If your view of far left comes from the likes of the USSR or China, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Well at least you haven't made it massively simplistic. 🤦
