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 can't agree that revolution is the only possibility for change. The Corbyn platform included lords reform and they were seriously contending a GE. Totally agree with your diagnosis of the problem with Westminster though.
If anything, the whole chain of events around Corbyn assured me completely and utterly of the fact that revolution is the only way forward.
Here was an honest and trustworthy politician with years of experience and many dedicated supporters, with very popular policies (polling showed that people supported the policies) in opposition to one of the least popular governments at the time.
If it was possible for change to happen, that’s when it would have happened.
Instead, he was torn down and sabotaged by his own party and subjected to outrageous propaganda in the press.
Wake up. Democracy is a smokescreen for the ruling class. The outcome of our elections are determined before the first vote is cast.
