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! :'(

I think you could make the argument that Britain rejoining makes the EU look good - if the UK leaves and does better, it might give other countries the idea that they'll be better off leaving too. But if the UK changes its mind and comes back after not even 10 years of being out, it might send the message to others that you're better off staying the course.
Especially if we're willing to come back for a worse deal than we had before we left, which I'd assume would be the case. We pissed away an amazing position within the EU, I'd be very surprised if they were willing to let us just plop back into our old role.
