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 suspicious at this point. No proof, but known-to-be corrupt and dishonest government rigging elections seems like an increasingly simpler Occam's razor explanation for apparently remaining tory support.
Believe me, those voters exist.
I don't know any, I even know some rich people who used to vote tory who don't any more. I know a lot of people who tell me they exist but that they are just "shy".
I'm not saying it's true that the elections are rigged, they probably aren't, but I don't think it's unreasonable to question it knowing the character and form of the government.
I know some, they aren't all rich, some of them actually work for a living believe it or not.
