Editorial Board
The editorial content on politics.co.uk is overseen by an editorial board comprising an elected representative from each of the three main political parties.
The editorial board meets throughout the year and has four primary functions:
1. Approve the editorial policy followed in the generation of material placed on politics.co.uk.
2. Review the content of politics.co.uk on an ongoing basis to ensure that it meets with the editorial policy, notably in relation to political objectivity.
3. Provide general guidance to the development of the site so that it succeeds in providing in-depth coverage of UK politics in a way that promotes understanding, interest, and political involvement.
4. Consider feedback, including complaints, from visitors to politics.co.uk
