UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

They could also be betting that Farage in parliament may be the nail in the coffin for Farage. Without any power he won't turn up and will just fizzle. Like Brexit, hell just walk when he doesn't get the attention any more.
So it could be a play to kill both. However, I think that would discount his love of attention and the media would still give him attention if he can keep saying hateful or controversial things.
You can see what he'll be like. Constantly trying to talk more than he would be allowed for his position, then claiming he is being silenced when he's not allowed. If he got himself kicked out for behavior, he'd love it. His followers will lap it all up.
