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! :'(

Yes, I clearly remember the Torygraph calling constantly for PR when the Tories had an 80 seat majority. /s Hypocrits.

The Telegraph isn't calling for PR per se it is merely showing the stats.

Are these numbers wrong? Why the down votes? How do you down vote numbers 🤔 ?

Numbers can trigger I guess? 🤔😕

If they present this without advocating for PR they're just shit-stirring, and given it's the Torygraph I'm not gonna be surprised at all if they're just shit-stirring

Does it talk about fixes, I.e proportional representation, stv, etc?
