United Kingdom
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.

The Lemmy instance where you created this community isn't British.
I only made it there bc I didn't want to make a new Lemmy user on a diff instance and this was my default account. Is it important? Surely this is the strength of federation
Given that's a British party and the participants will be mostly British and connecting from Britain, then yes.
I'm not sure what you think is a strength here. Just because you can create a community anywhere doesn't mean it's a good idea to ignore geography or jurisdiction.
Thank you for the feedback, I have moved it to !yourparty@feddit.uk
