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.

I liked John MacDonnel a lot but Corbyn's views on international affairs were a real turn off
Which ones? Genuinely interested.
I liked his Palestine stance but his EU stance was underwhelming and showed he didn't really understand protections everyone enjoyed under EU law.
I struggled to understand his Brexit stance - a bit like Mick Lynch. Something about EU membership preventing future nationalisation.
I'm more interested in his other international views... though I should really just look it up.
