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.

Potentially, but getting a debate might help, other parties can see it as an easy win. And Labour haven't even issued a response to it, never mind a debate being organised, they could - in theory - take the easy win. But that would also require them to realise they're wildly unpopular and have the sense to do it
They did respond with "lol, no". I'm not surprised.
Yep, I can't say I'm surprised either. But the number keeps climbing and there's still a debate. Plus, Labour really seem to want to just be Reform and Farage claims they'll repeal it so maybe Starmer will pounce on the opportunity to copy them again
