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! :'(

What happens to very small parties that tend to be disposed by large sections of society.
BNP EDL groups like that.
The obvious answer is let them argue theor case.
But the issue is large % of citizens will outright object to such patients failing tax payer funding.
The easiest argument to this one is that we already have the far right in power. FPTP is showing to be too easy to manipulate. Add in that the corrupt buggers we have in the world are now seeing the far right movement as a means to rob countries. Money is actively chasing the far right, and sticking to FPTP means the next time we won't escape.
