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! :'(

File this under "expectation management".
I think its more that they're worried labour voters won't bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.
It is my belief that this is exactly what happened last election. Labour have it in the bag, may as well not walk to the polling station, just stay here and play Red Dead.
Corbyn had his youth vote, but they just couldn't be bothered voting because he had it in the bag.
This election I'm ringing around my friends and driving them to the polling station
I guess you weren't paying attention to the opinion polls at the last election.
