Nice to see them coming in with fewer votes than the Greens. They can’t have Nimbied hard enough.

Another great example of why it’s so important to vote in local elections.

It’s a worryingly small figure, Maidstone isn’t exactly small, according to this

https://electionresults.parliament.uk/election/2019-12-12/results/Location/Constituency/Maidstone and The Weald

There’s an electorate of over 76k

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! :'(
