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! :'(

Thinking Starmer will offer you anything different is the epitome of apathy, voting neither is the exact opposite (and also is a vote against conservatives, which you would know if you'd actually read anything in the link which I suspect you didn't even click).
Maybe try actually understanding the system you're blindly participating in and advocating for because you believe in the illusion of choice those in power have presented you with (don't worry, I won't hold my breath):

This is a great discussion for the long term, but conservative rule must end. Labour is best positioned to actually beat them and are the better option.
They've beaten themselves. Only the lizards are still voting Tory. They're fucked. Your dusty argument of having to vote for the only other biggest party is useless in this case. Vote for who you want. The Tories aren't getting in
Eww
