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! :'(

Brexit happened because the conservatives couldn't be arsed sorting out their own affairs so made it everyone else's problem.
We should not have a referendum on changing the election system. They should just change it, there's no reasonable person that would have a problem with it, but there's plenty of unreasonable people and uninformed people that would vote against their own interests if it was put to a referendum.
I think you're unreasonable, would vote against your own interest, and I'll instead just change your life the way I see fit. Because I'm reasonable. I'm smarter and better than you.
How very edgy of you. Except you don't actually have a point do you?
No one's life would be damaged by changing the system without consultation. What's the point in consultation with people who have no understanding of the system, the vast majority of the population have no reasonable input that they could provide. The whole point of government is so that the entire population doesn't have to worry about complicated administrative matters.
I just think that broadly, I should be the one making decisions. Not you, with your dumbass lead poisoned brain.
