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! :'(

Why the down votes?
I think some people downvote the content, rather than the actual post. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
IDK, people can downvote what they want. I unchecked the show upvotes and show downvotes options on the first day I made an account not gonna have a conditioned response to a number every time I post something or read a post, would highly recommend doing it personally.
If the downvoting seems suspicious like somebody might have used bots to mass downvote it, you can always message the instance mods as that would violate the instance rules of pretty much any instance.
There are some regulars here that just downvote anything that uses lefty terms they don't like.
