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! :'(
Source is here: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/survey-results/daily/2025/02/20/c33bd/1
That source allows you to see the results according to political affiliation. Pluralities of supporters of the Conservatives, Labour, and Lib Dems think that supporting Ukraine is more important.
The exception is Reform UK, whose supporters think that good relations with the USA are more important than supporting Ukraine.
Came to say the same.
Half of us think the country shits gold and the world will bend over.
If you had a family member who behaved like we did, it would be time for an intervention.
Christ, I'd rather see Boris Johnson as our president than what we have, at least he's Mr Bean level of political stupid. Ours is just vile hate and greed.
Johnson would be better but his Mr Bean act is totally on purpose. He acts like that so you wouldn't think him capable of far right cruelty. I've read that he even intentionally messes up his hair before he goes in front of cameras.
It's all part of his cleverly crafted persona. Just like him using his middle name. The average Brit doesn't know that the real man is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, who used to burn £50 notes in front of homeless people for fun.
Remember this guy wanted to invade the Netherlands.
This time it's the US that's 4 years behind. You have your own Dominic Cummings and everything.
