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! :'(

The party may have a 30-point lead in the polls, but its lack of real offering to voters will soon cause problems - Paul Rogers

This worries me, too. They do have some examples of what to do and not to do from other contemporary progressive governments, so I hope they can learn from others' mistakes.

Starmer is a dud and a puppet for Zionists and plutocrats. He has no leadership or vision beyond Stalinist purges.

He's only going to win because the Tories are so vile.

He’s only going to win because the Tories are so vile

Honestly currupt and incompetent is a better word then vile. Not because I personally don't think their vile. Honestly vile seems way to nice a word to me. If I was religiose id say 300÷ MPs constantly being buggered by demons. And makeing the nation pay for their enjoyment.

But because the main reason he will win. Is he appeals to tory voters who support their policies. So people who clearly do not think they are vile.

Its the fact that thier corruption during covid. And utter incompetence over the last 4 pms. Really has left tories own nasty voters thinking starmer may actually be competent at implementing policies that change very little from there own goals.

Unfortunately due to first past the post. The rest of us are left choosing between demonically inspired incompetent currupt arseholes. Or the only viable way to remove them. Even if the policies are not that different.

Myself I'm in what was a tory safe seat. That LD just won local by a land slide.

So even starmer is unlikely to be the best way to get tories out. I'll watch polling because anything is better then the current tories. But 1 tory or 2 sane tory copies parties really will be all I can choose with out basically helping the tories by voting for a no hope option.

FPTP Really is feudalism hiding as democracy. Were basically forced to choose lube or no lube. Getting buggered by someone we like/agree with just ain't an option. If I vote green or any other left of centre party. I'm basically voting for poor and disabled folks don't deserve lube Sunak

going back to new labour is hilarious considering new labour is what led to a decade of tory rule
