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.

You're framing this like I'm here claiming Sultana is the reason for this shitshow. I didn't. She isn't 100% responsible, but is clearly very much a key part of it. I'm saying the whole thing has been done badly so far. I'm not saying she individually stole all the money, I'm saying in the name of the party she went ahead with it when it's something that should have been decided between them. And yes MOU have backed her up. Who are made up of pretty much her faction in this whole thing right? Wasn't her faction being in control of the finances part of an attempt to have the power in the party spread around? It clearly isn't working out and certain things should absolutely be agreed on as a whole, while power being allocated in a better way
A lot of what you've just said here, about Corbyn and so on, just further illustrates my point. The party is in complete disarray. Why should people be giving away their money to this, as it is now? The criticism isn't based in just there being disagreements. It's clearly far more than just disagreements and there's not a single good thing they've done in their existence. to make the bad look less bad. Yes it's early days but your point about the mainstream media being against us is true. So they should be even more vigilant and tightly coordinated so that the terrible press can be avoided as much as possible. As I've said already, all of what they're "disagreeing" on should have been discussed and finalised long ago. I'm not wanting said "disagreements" to be silenced either, I'm asking for them to be sorted out. I've made that clear. Neither am I exaggerating this. It's you who's seemingly trying to make out none of this is a big deal and is a very normal thing and we shouldn't really be bothered because... our enemies do it?
Novara aren't trying to cause things to go badly with this. You do realise they're the biggest actually left wing/far left media outlet in the UK right? And that they don't have ads or even any restricted content, all their funding comes from reader donations? I disagree with them sometimes, particularly some stuff Bastani and Walker have come out with, but they're not wrong to criticise here. They want this party to work and they're calling for unity and for opportunity, time and money not to wasted on easily avoidable, embarrassing things like this. I'm not expecting you to but if you want you can listen to their podcasts on what's happening with Your Party. You'll see it's very much the case they want this to do well
Your last paragraph I'm not sure exactly how to respond? I guess just how in any way are Your Party proving to us that they're doing well working towards building a party that can handle disagreements? The rest is confusing to me, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say. A lot of what you've written as a whole seems like you aren't actually reading what I'm saying
