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'd like to think they're not completely stupid. They must know they'll be getting a drubbing at the next election. So it baffles me why they want to make that an even bigger dicking?
I can only imagine that know they'll be fucked in opposition so why not start succession planning now. They're not even going to try at the next election. But even that doesn't make sense because you need to be elected to be in opposition!
Fuck I have no idea 🤣.
Why?
Because I don't like to paint people with broad unspecific brush strokes, generally. And like to think, again generally, people want to do the right things most of the time. Otherwise you'd end up bitter and afraid to interact with people based on preconceptions. But each to their own, eh?
Yes, not stupid, just do the right thing you say...

🤔
I'm not trying to claim they don't do stupid things. I'm saying that as a group I don't believe in tarring everyone with the sins of the past.
Again, you can disagree and that is cool 😎.
