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! :'(

Jfc, the fact that anyone still believes we can vote our problems away is beyond depressing...

Voting for the third and smaller of the puppets is still voting for a puppet. They all still serve capitalism, not people, they all still want to maintain the status quo, not bring actual change. The illusion of choice is just another distraction by those in power to keep themselves there.

Continuing to play within the rules written by and in defence of the system will only ever result in us staying under the boot that is said system, that's a fact that is never going to change, the sooner people realise this, the sooner we can move towards actual change (where society is designed by and for all of its members, not by and for the rich).
