Being the casual community I'd hope that people would stay clear of politics to keep it light hearted, but looking at the community rules it doesn't prohibit politics.
You can easily steer clear of politics, unless you're an absolute bore who constantly wants to twist any conversation into a political one. Nobody told me this, it's just obvious.
It really pains me, as someone from Northern Ireland. How people just assume that it's that simple. Both that NI was "stolen" from Ireland and that it'll be a quick and simple job to bring them together.
Federate the UK! Though I think England is too big and needs to be broken into chunks roughly even with Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Massively decentralize.
