Reform are getting endlessly pumped by the media and it's working for both of them.
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.
The election will not be held tomorrow, or this year, or probably next.
There'll be a different Labour leader long before there's another election. And who knows? Maybe, by then, some of the media will have stirred themselves from their stupour to give Farage the forensic colonoscopy he so richly deserves.
Thankfully the election is in 4 years. Although I have little hope Labour can somehow present themselves in any favourable light
FPTP is going to end in fascism. Unless the majority to agree for the same party in the same constituency. I'd even vote Conservative to keep Reform out, which, where I am, I might have to.
The biggest losers to Reform? Labour?
Will people now realise that Brexit was both a tragedy of the Tories and Labour.
Had brexit not happened, they would just still be called the brexit party....
