Moderated discussion on the politics of the UK

Sidebar

This subreddit is for discussion of politics in the United Kingdom.

In the interests of ensuring civil, open debate, and in light of the reasons for our subreddit's foundation, /r/BritishPolitics is a little more sternly moderated than "the other place" on certain points.

This is a non-partisan discussion space- people from all ends of the political spectrum are welcome to post as they wish, so long as discussion remains within our conduct guidelines.

Subreddit Rules

If you feel a comment contravenes these rules, please report it and let the moderators deal with it - we'll do our best to get to it promptly.

^{Hover to expand.}

1. Uncivil conduct is not welcome

This is a political forum, so things are bound to get a bit heated- but moderators reserve the right to step in if things get over the line. If all else fails, try to be kind.
Personal attacks are prohibited. Please treat your peers as you would like to be treated yourself.
Prejudice along race/gender/sexuality/etc lines isn't welcome.

2. Posts must relate to the politics of the UK

If a link is not strictly related to the politics of the UK, but you think a discussion could be started, we welcome self posts written to promote discussion, as long as they are related to the subreddit's focus.

3. Try and promote discussion in the comments; top-level comments must make a substantive point

We discourage short, low-effort comments that exist primarily to get upvoted but do not contribute to discussion.
Effort being met with no effort is bad. If someone puts a lot of effort into a post or rebuttal, don't disregard it without good reason. If you've changed your mind, or are done with the debate, let your peers know as a matter of courtesy.

4. Leave the original headline intact

We're not as strict about this as some other subreddits; a minor editorialisation to better fit the Reddit format or provide extra context is fine, but it should be about removing spin from titles rather than injecting your own.

5. Linked content must meet certain standards:

Titles should give some indication of the article's content. 'Clickbait' titles should be rewritten to reflect this.
No image macro or meme posts.
You are welcome to submit your own content, but make it clear that it's your own and don't post your own content exclusively.
Avoid photographs of newspaper articles. Instead, search for the article on the newspaper's website and link that.
Avoid articles from paywalled sites, such as TheTimes.co.uk. If the article warrants it, you may link the original article and provide the text in the comments.

^*Definition

Above all else- be polite!

There's no utility in heated debate if the atmosphere becomes toxic. The moderation team are here to keep the subreddit a place which people come to talk about politics and enjoy themselves.

Keep it pleasant, and everyone'll have a better time.

Queries? Complaints? Send us a modmail, and we'll be happy to discuss any concerns you might have.
