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! :'(

Signed, though honestly I don't think it'll do much unfortunately.
Should the house of lords be reformed? disbanded? What would you do?
I do like the idea of there being some sort of sanity check between parliament and laws actually getting passed but I don't like the idea of the people in power being able to appoint basically whoever they want.
Starmer has already committed, whatever that's worth, to abolish the house of lords
It was something Gordon Brown also wanted to do
