Reform UK

[edit]

The Reform UK political party is not a far right wing party. This terminology is grossly incorrect and extremely misleading and needs to be removed in the dscription of the party. ~2026-53590-06 (talk) 22:24, 5 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

This is nothing new given how the RfC went, thanks for letting us know though. CNCin solidarity (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

  • What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
−
On 7 May 2026, in the [[2026 Scottish Parliament election]], Reform UK became the joint-second largest party in the Scottish Parliament, tied with [[Scottish Labour]] and behind the [[Scottish National Party]], with 17 of the 129 seats up for election.

On 7 May 2026, in the [[2026 Scottish Parliament election]], Reform UK became the joint-second largest party in the Scottish Parliament, tied with [[Scottish Labour]] and behind the [[Scottish National Party]], with 17 of the 129 seats up for election. On 19 October 2026, [[Amanda Bland]] resigned from Reform UK, resulting in the party becoming the third largest in the parliament, holding 16 seats.

Also, the line in the infobox for number of MSPs from 17 to 16:

−
| seats3 = {{composition bar|17|129|hex={{party color|Reform UK}}}}
+
| seats3 = {{composition bar|16|129|hex={{party color|Reform UK}}}}
  • Why it should be changed:

An MSP from Reform UK Scotland has left the party to sit as an independent. This leaves the party with 16 MSPs, down from the previous 17.

 Done I added your proposed sentence about Bland's resignation, with minor changes to the wording. The infobox has already been updated. Day Creature (talk) 19:12, 19 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please add a link to the following webpage in the "External links" section of this article. It complies with WP:External links as it does "contain further research that is accurate and on-topic" which "could not be added to the article". It's content cannot be added to the article because the editorial line towards Reform UK here seems to be to reject neutral content and favour one-sided prose concentrating on attacking, smearing and generally hating the party.

Dear @~2026-59232-01
A section of the External Links guideline you linked is that Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. In other words, the site should not merely repeat information that is already or should be in the article. Links that may be used to improve the page in the future can be placed on the article's talk page should not be included in external links. I believe that Grokipedia would apply here. Also, Grokipedia is not considered a reliable source, and linking to it could potentially expose Wikipedia users to inaccurate content. - Otherwise (Antibacklog Aktion!)
