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! :'(

Note how that is nations. And folks have been arrested.
So your evidence boils down to you blame criminals on the folks making the laws.
It's logically like saying if we get rid of murder. We don't have murderers.
Boris johnson broke the law during COVID. He also broke parliamentary procedure and the law. When he closed parliament and lied to the queen. To try and force through a Brexit deal he lack both parliamentary support for and the national mandate.
Non of that means the UK is corrupt. It means a subset Brexit supporters are.
Closing parliament because some MPs break the laws parliament creates. Is just removing the laws. Not solving curruption.
You are proposing the same solution to the EU. And if Italy did the same. They would be giving the power to the very people that broke those laws. Much as brexiters did giving power to the billionaires that funded the campaign.
