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! :'(

Spot on. They don't want to take risks in their first term. And with the economy not looking like they'd hoped after the budget they have less political capital to hedge on any bigger moves.I think even joining the EUCU would be too far.
Short of a massive schism in the political landscape where all Labour Brexitiers up and leave the party and all Tory Remainers up and leave their party with the two factions joining forces in some new party where the overall pro EU support has a majority I can't see anything happening for multiple terms. And that's not going to happen because politics is literally football in this country and it's all about the rivalry and very little else.
Set your sights on 2060 or beyond.
