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! :'(

I'm not there actually was a big surge towards Labour, Reform split the Tory vote.
My general feeling though is that, so far, there doesn't seem to be any ridiculous scandals or corruption like there was before.
There's always going to be criticism no matter who's in power, but at the moment they seem ok. Not exactly filling me with any promise of things to get better, but there's no feeling of doom like there has been either.
I hope for electoral reform. For me, it's why I don't vote Labour because they'll never be in favour of it.
But other than that I hope for the cost of living to improve. Good quality housing to be more affordable and available. Utility and transport companies brought back into public ownership. A much more progressive drug policy and hopefully some kind of plan for returning to the EU. An education system where teachers aren't burning out and more schools to reduce classroom sizes.
Honestly I'm not really sure what Labours vision is. Maybe that's a me problem but with other parties you do kind of get a feel for what they're true aims are.
