General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Single transferable vote doesn't really solve any of the underlying problems. It's plastering over them more than actually fixing them given that we're changing the electro system I'd rather we actually fix the problem.

That’s not accurate to say as it’s gives voters the most sophisticated method of voting, prevents parachute candidates, increases accountability, in parliament and ensures 95% of the vote is counted.

It is accurate to say that it's not as good as proportional representation because it isn't as good as proportional representation hence the plaster over analogy.
