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! :'(

It's not for ideological reasons, and nobody is saying there shouldn't be a reform. Investing in private healthcare is a scam and not the proper way to reform. It's almost impossible to go back from depending on the private sector, so they are trying to just get your feet wet.
If you think It's hard to reform a public system, wait till its all tangled with private care, hiring more private care while we take care of the backlog of weaning off private care? The only investments made should be public, and drastic.
