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! :'(

This bigot is a perfect cautionary story for single issue voting.
He is well known to be a bigoted piece of shit, but he pulled a "broken clock" and was inevitably right on one issue, which was clearly enough for people to either completely ignore, or not even look in to his history, which is pretty scary..
(to be clear - I'm not saying voting for a candidate who supports free Palestine is a problem, it's voting for a candidate who only supports a free Palestine while stomping on every other marginalised group - a problem. If that is your only option, better vote none than vote for trampling someone else's rights)
Question: If he's a "single issue" politician, and that "single issue" has him defending homophobia (we won't even touch on the vile antisemitism) as to not upset his "single issue" constituents, wouldn't one consider that the "single issue" is problematic at it's core, and antithetical by it's very nature to democracy and equal human rights, or no?
I mean, fuck the Jews, they have no rights to anything, land, country, safety in their own country or any other country on gods green earth, nothing.
no, we're just talking, you know, in the broader sense of the "single issue" this asshole is the poster child for, put their as reprentative through free and fair voting by the "single issue" community itself
Well fuck me I guess ¯\(ツ)/¯ lmfao
