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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
This guy. Buying America and trying to buy Germany are not enough for him.
Yup, ~~he's~~ the Nazi is already in on Canada's election too.
Signed. It's already past the point where the government have to response and on course to force a debate. Of all the things, I hope Labour don't fuck this one up
Also signed. Now at 126k plus. So debate is to be considered.
Unfortunately it needs the votes to make it a threat to the future of the government. So multiple millions. Before any gov can consider these things to be significant.
100k is about 0.15% of the population. These things are set up to be ignored. 10% is likely the minimum needed to scare a government into action. Assuming no clear evidence of higher numbers opposed to it.
I would sign, alas I don't have citizenship.
Not that it'll do much, but signed regardless
Why should the financial sector face any competition....
