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! :'(

Fascinating polling from YouGov. Some headlines:

Of the polled ideologies, 'Environmentalism' and 'Feminism' are the most popular, with clear majorities having favourable views of both (66% and 56% respectively). Majorities of Labour, Lib Dem, Green and even Conservative voters say they approve of both (Conservatives only very narrowly for feminism), as do all age groups. But the age-group most in favour of environmentlism are 50-64 year-olds.

'Liberalism' and 'Socialism' are both more popular than 'Conservatism'.

Virtually nobody will admit they have a favourable view of 'Fascism', even Reform voters (4%) - but a majority of Reform voters have favourable views of 'Nationalism'

Fascists hate being called "fascists".

Historically they pretended they were socialists.
