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! :'(

No need to spoil the ballot, if none of the people running represents you, you have the ability to vote none, which is what I'll be doing (with absolutely no expectation of it actually changing anything, just like a vote for any of the other parties won't change anything, because electoral politics is a charade designed by the powerful to make sure they stay in power, and playing their game will never gain us freedom, but it's literally the bare minimum)
That webpage does not describe a current ability to vote none. Instead it simply argues for a possible means of achieving a future ability to vote none. And to me it's a pretty feeble suggestion.
What you've said is not true. One does not have the ability to vote none.
Okay sure but with the caveat literally anybody would be better than the Tories.
At this point I would settle for competent cronyism, rather than the incompetent cronyism which is what we currently have.
