General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The process of applying for a Voter Authority Certificate online is quite straightforward . As long as you are registered to vote, you only need a recent photograph and your National Insurance number. You can apply online here, I appreciate that not everyone can set some time aside for this, but if you do try please share any obstacles or difficulties you encounter.
Thanks for this! Personally speaking I was fine as I had a passport, but I work in a sector where a lot of people are struggling and that loss of opportunity to just pop in without thinking can make a difference.
This is great advice though and would encourage anyone who hasn't sorted ID out to do so sooner rather than later.
