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.

passed by 62 votes to 31, with 21 abstentions.

Conservative and LibDem MSPs voted against a boycott, and they were joined by independents John Mason and Jeremy Balfour. Scottish Labour MSPs abstained in the vote.

Scottish Tories and Lib Dems are pro-genocide and Scottish Labour are too cowardly to take a position.

'Mon the SNP and Scottish Greens!

You know that's funny because the libdems put this on their YouTube channel https://youtu.be/HMYongJjRV0 obviously this is the Scotland MPs that voted in favour and not the rest of the party outside of Scotland but it does kinda send mixed messages from the party
