History
Politics.co.uk has been covering British politics for over twenty years since it was first established in 2002, and is owned by the digital publishing company Senate Media.In an interview with Politics.co.uk during the 2010 United Kingdom general election, the then prime minister Gordon Brown appeared to support tactical voting in that year's general election. He said: "I want everyone to vote Labour. But if people don't want a Conservative government then they must make sure they don't let the Conservatives in."
In 2013, Godfrey Bloom, the then UK Independence Party member of the European Parliament, attracted controversy after writing an opinion article on Politics.co.uk. Shortly after his 2,000 word article, Bloom lost the UKIP whip. He had stated that women were more suited to finding "mustard in the pantry" than driving cars.
