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! :'(

Link to the poll mentioned.

A good break down of the other polls done by Yougov on this subject by youtuber Phil Moorhouse.

My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.

People who think brexit has gone very well...

Everything is fine.

Some have done well out of Brexit. They are just not the run of the mill man on the street. Brexit was always a con to rob the poor.

Living in an insanely pro-Brexit area, the usual comments are either: “Best thing we ever did. We control our borders now.” or “We’re not going to talk about it. Democracy won.” I think if the referendum was run again the results would be the same - or a bigger Brexit majority. The crazies in my area are obsessed with “illegals”.

This seemed very apt regarding the morons following the Leave narrative. They don't seem to grasp that a minister for Common Sense is Harry Potter territory.

Quite sad imo.
