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! :'(

Reform are right-wing, but they're not far-right anymore than Jeremy Corbyn was apparently far-left.

Yes? There have been 20 candidates for the Green Party who were investigated for anti-semitism.
Let's not pretend that cranks only exist in Reform UK.
I’m not being funny mate but ‘reform’ is just a rebranding of the fucking NF make no mistake. It’s three steps away from brownshirts mate that’s what it fucking is.
Hysterical nonsense, but I expect nothing less from Lemmy.
Would you have said the same of UKIP?
Yes. UKIP now are far-right (hence why you don't hear of them anymore), but they were just a plain old Thatcherite right-wing party under Farage.
Nigel Farrage’s party is almost certainly far right compared to the status quo.
