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! :'(

Not saying I'm not in favour of both of those things, which I am, but aren't both of those things primarily what the Brexiteers were voting against?
I don't think they legitimately knew what they were voting against. They just didn't like the EU for no very clear particular reason.
Now they've actually experienced life without it though they've decided that it isn't as bad after all. They couldn't be persuaded to do the research at the time, so they've instead had to learn through experience.
