Editorial Board

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.
