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! :'(

Then don't sign the petition. No need to stress.
The problem with political activism these days is that people think that making a submission form on a government website is the same as actually doing something.
And I'd prefer it if they just did the thing.
In this case no action is actually required, just don't vote for them whenever the general election comes around, but generally speaking I wish people would stop using this pointless website. It was created to make people think they're taking action in a society they have no agency in.
So no there absolutely is "stress" and it's that morons keep thinking that they're doing something when they're doing f all.
