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! :'(

Remember in FPTP you often need to vote against the party/candidate you don't want to win, rather than voting for the one you do want.

There are many sites that will help you determine who is best to vote for if you strongly feel that a particular party/candidate needs to loose.

Link from a site that does this: https://tactical.vote/ Most of them seem to be doing a bit of house cleaning atm or waiting on an api update

Even our democracy is designed to make us focus on the negative.
