UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Its removing hurdles & simplifying the voting process.
People entering higher education should have a chance to shape the country.
People don't have to worry if they're registered to vote when all eligible votes are automatically registered.
The cap on donations ensures parties all have the same level playing field.
It literally takes 5 minutes to register to vote. If the people who aren't registered were serious about voting, they would get it sorted.
Clearly they can't be arsed.
If it's so simple and so negligible then why not just make it automatic. Those 5 minutes seem like a waste of time don't they? How much time and money is wasted on those alleged 5 minutes? Why not streamline it?
