General Discussion for politics in the UK.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.

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.

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.

More than 60% of Brits want to re-join the EU with nearly the same number saying Britain was wrong to leave in the first place, a new poll shows.

Who is the 'you' you keep referring to in this scenario? It's certainly not me, or my friends, or my family, or the people I work with.

It's not a majority of the voters in the wider UK anyway - the age breakdown of the referendum result and some basic demographic maths tells us that, of the people who cast a vote on that particular day in June 2016 who are still alive today, a majority voted Remain - and that's before your even add in the huge numbers of people who have turned 18 since 2016 who skew heavily Remain/Rejoin too.

So really I ask - what the fuck are you talking about?
