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.

UK's Future: Your Thoughts and Hopes (self.uk_politics)

After 14 years of Conservative rule, the UK has seen a significant shift in power with a surge in support for Labour. However, it's still early days, but already some of the same issues of incompetence that plagued the previous government are still present.

What's your take on the current situation, and what are your hopes for the future of the country?

Apologies if this is the wrong community to post this. Not trying to be divisive but constructive.

I think it's unrealistic to expect everything to be great. Even if the government was impossibly perfect, the UK would still have issues - be they inherited ones, ones that emerge from outside the UK, nonsense from mega-corps, or mistakes outside of government such as in the civil service.

I will gladly accept what I hope will be gradual improvement over what we had for the past 14 years.

Government is inherently slow to enact changes, so it'll be at least another 6+ months before we really begin to see any change, IMO.

That’s fair. Thanks!
