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.

Yes. As far as making laws they can. That is the whole meaning or the phrase parliament is sovereign.
It's not a good thing. But is why voting and education is so important. Because when it comes to actions in parliament only voting has any authority.
It's not unique. As we see in the US. Where both houses have to act on many things. And when one party is given power their is little the nation can do to stop it.
But honestly there is not real answer. Any organisation given the authority to arrest parliament is under the same risk of abuse. As we see with the US FBI. All it means is the corrupt political org. Takes control of that first.
In the US and UK. It is why the right has taken control of the media over the last few decades.
This is also why both main parties have worked so hard to remove the right to protest. The mass is the only control we have.
