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.

Nothing revolutionary about this.
Massive for-profit private interests being catered to by the government instead of public transit for the public.
And before the point gets argued like last time I brought it up. Yes in some scenarios cars can't be replaced, but the majority of transport required by the majority of people is better served via bus, tram, train, or bike. I'm not saying abolish cars, I'm saying they don't need massive government subsidy, other modes of transport do.
