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.

I find comments like this perplexing.

LibDems were always against it, but were a minority in a coilition and basically had no power. Tories were never going to vote against it, but were willing to put AV on the table.

They offered Labour first, but Labour didn't want a coilition. It was a gamble that could have changed everything, and unfortunately it was a gamble that the public didn't support because even Labour was against it.

Why anyone would vote Labour is beyond me, didn't they vote for tution fees in the first place?
