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.

To me this is tinkering with the edges of a broken system. How about some proper voting reform?
The public rejected that at referendum.
A generation ago.
How about an actual referendum on whether or not we need a better system rather than "do you want this plaster putting on it?"
Single transferable vote is not a solution to the first past the post problem. It's literally the same system with a minor fix which won't really result in any change since we effectively live in a two-party system anyway.
It was AV in the referendum not STV
