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.

Conservatives (and the FT are very muchsmall-c conservatives) are starting to panic because the Greens are in with a chance. Expect much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth in the next few weeks.
I agree that the Greens are not only in with a chance but near-certain to make huge gains in the local elections. But given their propensity for blocking necessary changes, I imagine they'll garner a lot of small-c conservative support themselves!
