    I can’t imagine looking at what billionaire money is doing to America right now and thinking, “yeah, we’ll have some of that”. It’s blatantly a bad idea.

      Have you seen how much money the American political grifters make? Of course the UK grifters want some of that too

        Have you seen how much money the American political grifters make?

        Enough to fund a bunch of healthcare I imagine.

        Democrats, alone, raised $1 billion to lose. 😬

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.
