Tories have been loyal to moneyed interests since time immemorial, and they're going to be thrown aside like a crunchy skeet blanket because billionaires want someone more controllable. Sucks to suck

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! :'(

Honestly billionaires have little interest in most local elections. This is why lib dems etc always had an advantage here.
They tend to be very low turn out and often ruled by more rational levels of wealth. IE, millionaires and middle class homeowners.
Honestly, it is the one place the poor can actually make a difference just by agreeing on a candidate and turning up.
