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! :'(

This opinion article argues that Labour should support green policies for moral reasons, but the author also argues that Farage's anti-green message is not what the public want. Apparently "68% of Farage’s constituents in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, declared themselves 'somewhat' or 'very' worried" about climate change.

The article links to this Bluesky thread from a pollster which is interesting:

We're rapidly letting it slip through our hands because of these right wing idiots, but net zero could (have) potentially be(en) the UK's new Industrial revolution. Except this time we lead the way in saving the planet instead of destroying it.

Fusion power is the future. Excessive renewable power is the future. High tech energy storage is the future.

Not because I want it to be, because that's just how it's going to be

We can either be technological leaders in these areas, or we can be buying everyone else's solutions instead of selling our own.
