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.

The bungled membership launch totally devastated their credibility when instead it should have been a massive positive event.
I have still joined, but without the hope and passion I had about it. Hopefully it can be recovered. I'm very glad that the Greens will be there for me if not.
This attitude tends to make me grin. It is the very element of right of centre thinking that forms it.
Any truly democratic org will have arguments like this. And any historic look at the greens or labour will show a long history of such fights.
The right wing parties also have such fights. But by nature, the difference in the right is that the current successful are there because they deserve to be. As such, arguments between leaders is seen as a bad thing. When the left by its very nature should see such as evidence of a democratic process.
Yeah it kind of sucks how efficient right wingers are at rallying behind a single shitty leader. In a FPTP system, it's the downfall of every other party
To be fair we have seen quite a bit of infighting among right-wingers in the last few years though... first the Tories tore themselves apart over Brexit, then they replaced Cameron with Theresa May, more infighting ensued, then we had Boris, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and now Kemi Badenoch, and some Tories are saying Kemi won't last long - Jenrick clearly wants to replace her. Then there's Reform, and two of their MPs have now left the party - Rupert Lowe has started his own thing called Restore Britain.
Anyway, I don't know what to expect from Your Party but I would be interested to see what policies they propose.
