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! :'(
Amongst the names for No to AV / supporter of FPTP this name pops up: Rachel Reeves. Where have seen that before 🧐?
Not on the list, but Andy Burnham was Labour's election campaign coordinator at the time and played the critical role in getting Labour's party machinery to ignore the referendum (which is what allowed all these Labour MPs to freely campaign for FPTP).
So I've been very sceptical about his Damascene conversion to electoral reform now that he's in a job that has no influence over the matter...
Oh dear
