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
It's not a "failed election" the UK is heading for per se, it would simply work as intended by the current law. It's just that the predictable results are anything but favourable for the Tories.
Those Tories have been against changes to the system for ages. Now that they notice that without methods of proportional representation they will be out of jobs after the next election, this kind of change suddenly looks good.
As are Labour. The Tories are not the only culprit here. It was listed in the 1997 Labour manifesto pledge.
The problem is people also don't want Labour, it's just the lesser evil, so instead of voting pro labour they're voting anti Tory. Id call that a failed election.
