UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is so fucking disappointing. Labour are already running high in the polls but are busy running around giving me reasons to not vote for them.
I can't imagine anyone would be compelled to vote for them based on this either, except the super-rich. Announcing this shit is so utterly pointless.
I voted for the Lib Dems during the New Labour years and it looks like I'm heading back that way.
No idea how lib dem is somehow a better option here. Have they said they will impose a wealth tax?
Obviously we don't know the Lib Dem manifesto for the next election yet but they've been touting wealth taxes for years.
If they have a chance of beating the Tories in your area, I guess go for it. But for me that's the goal, get rid of them and rebuild.
Same here. There’s a website that allows you to easily check who you should vote for to out the Tories. My constituency has been labour for 16+ years so I could safely vote for Lib Dems if I wanted to. It was called something like “stop the tories”.
