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.

He started this whole crap show. Because he was scared of losing votes to UKIP, he held that dumb referendum, and that set in motion the events that led to Cruella (Johnson in power purging anyone in the party who didn't bow down to his brexit ideology). Cameron can do one, he's worse than Johnson in my eyes.
He wasn't intentionally bad though, he just made a (huge) miscalculation about how much the leave campaign were willing to lie.
It was intentionally bad. It was party over country, as usual for the Tories. And then he did a runner when he lost. Filthy piece of toerag, he's got a nerve showing his face in government again.
I'm not sure that calling a referendum to let the voters choose can be considered bad. (The result was though)
