United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

I'm sorry guys but I don't think I can vote today. I just don't have it in me to fly to Britain, get citizenship and then vote. Maybe next time. I'm really sorry.
All I hear are excuses
If you're a Canadian citizen, you can skip the "get citizenship" part. So maybe you can afford to reconsider in light of this new info?
I'm sorry, Canadians can vote in the UK elections?
Yes, provided they're living in the UK. Same with any Commonwealth country, such as India, Uganda, Australia, Tuvalu, etc. Even if they're just living as a student.
It's actually a bigger list of countries and territories than I thought.
How does the EU portion works post-Brexit though?
I think there were provisions in place for people who moved here before brexit to keep their right to vote. Apart from Ireland
Unfortunately the Canadian government discriminates against me because I was born in the Midwest and have never been to Canada.
No, its OK, all European citizens van vote in local elections where they reside in the EU. Wait, no.
