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! :'(

Good to see the Green Party of England and Wales catching up with the Scottish Greens on this issue. Maybe next they can kick out the people who oppose building high-speed rail because every tree has feelings.

They're not a political party they are just a single issue activist group run by unrealistic ex hippies.

They're the same type of people that say that nuclear energy is as bad as fossil fuels, which really undermines their own philosophy, and that genetically modified crops are the root of all evil conveniently forgetting that they've been in use for decades at this point. If it weren't for nitrogen fixing plants we probably will be dead by now or at least have a severely depleted population.

Well yeah. That's why they don't exist anymore.
