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! :'(

That source allows you to see the results according to political affiliation. Pluralities of supporters of the Conservatives, Labour, and Lib Dems think that supporting Ukraine is more important.
The exception is Reform UK, whose supporters think that good relations with the USA are more important than supporting Ukraine.
This American supports the priorities shown by the polling numbers.
We need more nations standing up to Trump, not more nations bending the knee. It doesn't just help you, it helps us.
seriously. our coup government needs to be stopped
It needs to be stopped from the inside. Your rapist leader needs to be put down like a rabid dog.
absolutely. but we need help. ~30% of the country supports this. ~25% abhors it. the remaining ~45% are living in a false sense of thinking they know what's going on and the other ~55% sound like two different kind of lunatic. we are doing all we can to wake them up, but we need the world to say we, as a nation, are the baddies. that will push some of the 45 into the 30, but it will do more to push thore 45 into the 25. americans like to think themselves the heroes of history. so please. saction us like we're russia. because we are
Nothing will change until GOP base turns on him.
A sovereign needs only like 30% of the adult population to maintain sufficient support for what Trump is doing.
He is clearly that and some. He has support of the oligarchy.

the last two deposed US presidents jfk and nixon were deposed by the ruling class.
