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.

This is indicative of the general apathy across the country. People are fed up with politicians as they are seen as so removed from the rest of us. Partying during lockdowns, skimming money here there and everywhere, breaking laws that would see the like of us in jail and generally not giving a fetid dingoe's kidney about anyone but themselves.
And here lies the true damage - the Tories have spent the last 14 years conflating their misdeeds with those of all politicians.
They are not 'all the same'. They never have been.
