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! :'(

I know this is a joke, but the reality is I, and many others, would probably prefer an AI to many politicians. At least you would know they are not lining their own nest and would make decisions based on facts and not opinions.
I wish. Ai is much shitter than that. Current AI (basically everyone means an LLM when they say AI) is just repeating plausible bullshit without fact checking.
It's Boris Johnson on an industrial scale.
Ha! You are not wrong, but give it a few years and I can see AI being used in governments all over the world.
