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! :'(

The opposition party don't have any power to implement policy all they can do is try and direct things in a slightly different manner but the conservatives are not interested in listening so there's not a lot that labour can do.
Frankly you seem like you've decided that you don't like the labour party and are now flailing around trying to look for reasons. At some point you've probably said "they're all the same" or "they're Tory Lite", probably because someone said it down the pub once, and now you're going to parrot it, ad infinitum.
Let's just focus on this policy announcement shall we? The conservatives are threatening to introduce national service, meanwhile Labour are not threatening to do that, they are saying they will lower the voting age 16. How are they not opposing the Conservatives?
