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 definitely has nothing to do with the hundreds of examples where privatization caused immense damage, and almost no examples of where it helped, especially when it comes to something that doesn't fit offer and demand, like health.
Funny how the rest of Europe doesn't have that problem though, despite using private providers to increase capacity.
The NHS already leverages the private sector in the way other parts of Europe do, and it hasn't helped. It has only allowed for drastic cuts to the NHS and increased private spending year after year.
It makes sense on the surface, that's why they are tricking you. I'm sure you still think Brexit was a great idea that saved you from the commies.
Wrecking things in Canada too, don't do it!
