Roland Lescure tells the BBC that being in the bloc enables members to better address the challenges facing the world.

What do you think of this?

I think the UK should definitely be forging stronger partnerships with our allies. Otherwise we're just a middle power at best, drifting alone, ready to be pushed around by the US, China, and Russia.

I can find no data that backs up your points. The UK is by no means top of pack in Europe but instead middling. There are still plenty of more racist and homophobic countries in Europe than the UK.

Also the protections in the ECHR still apply in the UK post Brexit so not sure what you’re on about there either.

Because it's an AI slop account making these claims. Ignore and move on.

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.
