General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

MODERATORS
The thing that really grinds my gears is that at the next election people still won't consider parties like the lib dems or greens that actually want to bring in social policies.
God, listening to folks bitching about LibDems because they were the scapegoat for the Tories decades ago is just saddening.
They have literally been the only party that have offered actual change to our voting system. Sometimes I dream of what a different state we would be in if that referendum had passed.
Welcome to FPTP
No. Welcome to people thinking that their vote doesn't matter unless they're "on the winning team". The system allows anyone to win. The psychology of the electorate is locked into two party politics.
Nope the fact is FPTP is mathematically garrenteed to force a 2 party system. As 3rd parties will always split the vote forcing control to the more unified but smaller opposition.
