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! :'(

Maybe we should have another election after every election?
Maybe we should have another EU referendum, as the winning side definitely broke their promises.
Maybe we should just vote again on stuff simply because we don't like the result.
Maybe we should wait five years and then have another general election to decide if they should stay in power or not.
Switzerland says hi.
Democracy on steroids.
The only chartist demand never adopted was yearly elections, so why not every year?
There was a similar petition about that, it got 4.2m signatures.
You don't seem very fond of democracy, how very british of you.
I'm losing faith in it.
Well you definitely shouldn't have any faith in the British "democracy" because it's not one. Even pretending that it is one is difficult when the "House of Lords" is an institution that exists.
But if we actually tried doing democracy properly maybe it would be good. We actually haven't tried it yet. The ghouls in charge just use that word because of course they would. It's easy to stay in power as long as enough people believe the lie.
