UK Politics
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 for him. Labour are continuity Tories.
Isn't it a bit more nuanced than that?
Only in the same way that Coke and Pepsi are differnt
As Orwell pointed out way back then, they're both sides of the neo liberal coin.
If you want Tory vote Tory or Labour, if you want chnage Vote Green.
Nothing chnages if voters don't
I'd argue that certain welfare reforms under the previous Labour government wouldn't have been considered under a Conservative one. Equally, a lot policies that affect numerous people would have been very different in the last few years if we had a Labour government.
Are the Greens really much different from your broad perspective?
