General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I don't think Greens will get much sway until they start scapegoating disadvantaged groups.

Blaming society's ills on the rich and powerful won't work while they are, well, powerful no matter how true it is. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, until majour outlets start discussing that we'll continue to blame single mums, trans people, disabled people, immigrants, gingers, anything but the actual problem.

Until then I don't think we as a country will ever stop supporting Conservative, Labour, Libdems, and now Reform over Greens.
