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! :'(

Tactical vote, stop the Tories!

Check this site or risk splitting the left vote and letting the right wing in.

Strategic voting has always been farcial.

If you can't be bold enough as to vote for the party you want, you can't act surprised when you do not receive the country you want.

Very deep. Except we don't live in fantasyland so you have to do what's necessary.

Ever heard of splitting the vote?

How does capitulating before you even arrive at the negotiating table a solution to that?

It's a vote, not a negotiation. Unless it is a ranked preference vote, which the UK General Election isn't (FPTP).
