UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Why is this post being downvoted?
I think that people who are dogmatic about politics, from either camp, find his stuff hard to swallow. We’re here because of Tory corruption and incompetence, which alienates conservatives, and it’s being made worse by weak fiscal policy and the ignoring the several elephants in the room of labour, which offends the middle-lefties
It's also a clickbait title though. That's not how national economys work. You cannot equate governmental spending to the budget systems of companies, doing so is intellectually dishonest.
Countries can't go bankrupt... anyone who puts that in their title is full of shit.
