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.

Mixed Member Proportional Representation now.
I'm fine with allowing more potential Reform UK or other parties I disagree with getting in if it means more Greens and Reds too. Anything to reduce the power of the Blues and ~~Reds~~ Other Blues
I don't think it'll happen, assuming it'd need another referendum, and as long as Farage keeps polling well. I think we've left it too late.
He'll say, "They™️ are trying to take away your vote! They're scared because they know I'm going to be the next Prime Minister!"
And people will lap it up.
I'd love someone to convince me I'm wrong, but I feel like the PR campaign is picking up steam at precisely the wrong time.
I mean, Farage is a cunt, but he's been publicly in favor of PR for decades, likely not least because it would benefit his parties.
