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 realistic. I’m also more inclined to vote centre ground of politics rather than far left or far right. And it seems the rest of the UK electorate are like that too

Not true at all, we've had progressively further right parties for years. You can't compare the current tories to John Majors.

These are hardly far right parties. Yes they are right of John Major (well Truss Book are, Cameron not so much) but the framing that they're far right parties is wrong and misleading.

If parties are too extreme one way or the other the electoral won't vote for them. That's my point.
