International Politics - UK politics

[Dobby]

Maybe a need to create a UK politics separate from the international politics? I know it's not essential at the moment but it could get worse in the future, just seems strange that pretty much all the topics in international is about UK politics with one random one about Israel in there that seems really out of place.

From previous experience if you bracked off uk from international, international becomes a ghost town.

Frankly I think the site should just drop the americocentric bullshit and I should be allowed to post about how shitty labour i in general politics.

There's only one non-UK thread in IP and that hasn't been active for some time. Were there no UK discussion in IP, there would be no discussion in IP.

So Boris is right.

Until we see more traffic on the site in general and outside of the US political sphere in particular, then there really isn't much point in creating a lot of sub-forums to divide up the rest of the world.

The biggest topic in International Politics is about Israel, not the UK. The biggest topic relating the the UK is about corgis. Again, it seems the Lounge would be best suited for UK related threads.

The Israel topic is no longer active.

And it was started by a Brit, namely me.

The forum definitely shouldn't be americocentric. That would be a serious error.

Is general politics only about American politics? Not that I am aware of, it's about politics in general. Discussing ideology in general in "general politics" seems like it should be fine to me.
