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! :'(

You can see the downturn of the global financial crisis, whose roots lie in inadequate regulation of the banking sector, and you can see the gradient return to normal just before 2010, then you can see Conservative party policy take root and consistently underperform compared to the rest of recent uk history.
Guess what happens when you look at a national debt graph over the course of about a century! Guess which party fairly consistently gets us into worse debt and guess which party fairly consistently pays off national debt, then the word Projection may start to float around your mind.
