Semi-protected edit request on 29 June 2024

In the first line of the txt it states that Reform Party are a right wing political party. It should just read that Reform are a political Party. No need for right wing. 2A02:C7E:3088:8B00:59CE:C8A3:A4CF:F11C (talk) 13:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Members or donors?

Per an archived discussion, Reform UK Party Limited is a private company with - currently - four members, all shareholders. This is why it could change leader so quickly in 2024: the person with 8 of the 15 shares decided he wanted to be leader and could vote himself into the role. The company's documents seem to be the only source of what a member of Reform UK Party is, because while the ReformParty.UK site invites people to pay them £25/year, there is nothing on it that I can find that says what that gets you, apart from being slightly poorer. Should they be called 'donors' instead? Lovingboth (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

It's a service, members can choose if the company is doing them good by their money by pushing policy Eloymtf (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Controversy section missing?

Is it appropriate to add something about the ongoing controversy surrounding comments made by several pf their candidates or is that not done for political parties? I'm referring to this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c727xz2kkgjo. ISleep8Hours (talk) 15:10, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Spoiler

This party is a typical spoiler party. This should be pointed out right at the top. --95.24.79.236 (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

This is a highly ideologically motivated position. JustAPoliticsNerd (talk) 16:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Ghost candidates

Should we write anything on the accusations of Reform running ghost candidates in multiple constituencies such as Mark Matlock in Clapham and Brixton Hill or the candidate in Leeds North East? Reference here [1] Locked101 (talk) 15:49, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Right now there's simply not enough information on this and it's a just a conspiracy theory. It could even be a BLP violation (assuming Mark Matlock is, in fact, real). If the electoral commission discovers something it might then become notable. — Czello (music) 15:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Following on from this, it now appears to have been confirmed that he's real. — Czello (music) 20:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
