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! :'(

A handy tool to sense check you're voting for the correct party.

Edit: ๐Ÿคฃ 4 down votes. For this of all things. Lord above ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Do you have something similar for the US?

Ours would say:

Party 1

  • Round up all minorities and immigrants into camps. Create jobs 'digging the death pits'.
  • Replace 'Separation of church and state' in the Constitution with a copy of the 'Right to bare arms' amendment, but this time in all caps.
  • Repeal all environmental protection laws. The "free market" will ensure companies don't pollute. Even if they did, climate change is a hoax so it doesn't matter.
  • Eliminate all healthcare plans. If God wants you dead, and you're poor, so be it.
  • Eliminate term limits for conservative politicians. Implement term limits for liberal supreme court judges.

Party 2

  • Laws that aren't just a toddler's power fantasy

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve ๐Ÿ˜”
