After 14 years of Conservative rule, the UK has seen a significant shift in power with a surge in support for Labour. However, it's still early days, but already some of the same issues of incompetence that plagued the previous government are still present.

What's your take on the current situation, and what are your hopes for the future of the country?

Apologies if this is the wrong community to post this. Not trying to be divisive but constructive.

After 14 years of mismanagement and dismantling of services, it's too soon to expect everything to be sorted.

As usual you have whiners expected it to be up and running within days, and because it isn't, are now screaming that Labour have lied and failed.

It’s not whining, Labour have in fact broadly lied across the board and a still lying today.

They lied about more of less everything important and continue you do so .

  • zero hours contracts
  • renationalisation
  • child benefit
  • tuition fees
  • the green new deal
  • cleaning up politics

It’s a long list.

Yesterday, Rachel from Accounts told non dom millionaires not to worry, because she’s listening , and will pause and dilute efforts to close their tax loopholes.

So, you might argue about the merits of each policy, but it’s folly argue they tell the truth .

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! :'(
