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! :'(

Well I can say a member of my family voted for Johnson because he has nice hair. I literally spat out food on hearing that remark.
We need a better education system for the population. With the education system we have currently, the population will never be savvy to the cons that the politicians are using. Better education is the only way to stop ignorance. Politics and critical thinking should be part of our main school curriculum.
I would argue that we also need a PR voting system. Currently those politicians only need to con a few thousand people to control 65m. They gear their campaigns to small areas while ignoring the rest. Even changing the population and education system will never eradicate this.
