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.

What's the point of asking the party members then?
Just so they can get something for their membership fee.
Paying £50 for a millionaire to spit on you is one hell of a kink, but to each their own.
I've never understood why anyone would pay to be a member of a political party tbh.
Unite set up the vote to embarrass the party leaders. It succeed in this.
The actual point left out is that this not needed and would involve buying out companies, and needlessly paying them money.
Instead Labour's plan is to set up their own energy company. This will either succeed and force existing companies to set prices fairly or to go out of business, or it will fail without damaging the market. Either way it's cheaper and safer than forcefully nationalising existing firms.
