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! :'(

This is a great discussion for the long term, but conservative rule must end. Labour is best positioned to actually beat them and are the better option.

This is it. I'm Labour all the way and in a safe seat, but if I lived elsewhere I would have to seriously consider voting Lib Dem, Green, SNP or Plaid Cymru (or, really, anyone bar Reform!) if they were best-placed to beat the Tories. But the fact is that, as you say, for very nearly everywhere, Labour is the obvious choice to get the Conservatives out!

They've beaten themselves. Only the lizards are still voting Tory. They're fucked. Your dusty argument of having to vote for the only other biggest party is useless in this case. Vote for who you want. The Tories aren't getting in
