UK Politics
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.

Well he lost two elections with more voter then Keith won one.
But he seems unable to accept he only won. Because more people opposed hi opponents then him. Trying gain from those voters rather then the ones refusing to vote for him. Is just lazy.
Not to mention a desperate attempt to ignore democracy. And much of his own party. His current anti migraint negativity. And disability discrimination. Dose not have a strong following in his party members.
Corbyn was also trying to navigate Brexit for those two elections and anything less than a full-throated insistence on parroting "Brexit means Brexit" turned the pro-Brexit crowd away, while the anti-Brexit crowd turned away in advance because he was in favour of it. He bottled it before that second election he lost and tried to get the anti-Brexit crowd back on board and just alienated the pro-Brexit crowd
Yes and know. I remember many rejecting Corbyn for not ignoring Brexit. The party members were very split over the subject.
