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.

Shocked Pikachu face: British political system is corrupt? It wasn't that long ago that rich people had more than one vote if they had houses in different constituencies and would travel across the country to vote many times. Or that graduated from Oxford or Cambridge had two votes. Or not long before that that candidates could round up voters take them to the pub and buy them drinks and then to cast their votes. And that's before all the cash for honours scandals...
Surely people don't believe that there was ever a time when parliamentary politics was ever honest.
