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.

Thanks Olukemi, do you think the conservative voter base sees you as ~~white~~ British as well?

Because your dog whistles don't impress me.

EDIT : FYI, the caller said that Rishi would get decimated (✔) and would get 20% of the vote (23.7 ✔)

There are lots of racists in britain, and they aren't going to vote for a black woman to be their prime minister.

They probably see her as “one of the good ones”

They don’t think those are anything more than a slim theoretical possibility.

The Conservative party is very much part of my family, my extended family, I call it.
