  2.  @herrglotzenschnitzengruber1510  Reform UK was initially set up as a private limited company, which meant that its members were essentially shareholders. However, in September 2024, Nigel Farage announced a significant change to the party's structure. Reform UK transitioned from a company limited by shares to a company limited by guarantee, making it member-owned. Under this new structure, members have more control over the party's policies and leadership. They can vote on policy motions, participate in leadership elections, and even trigger a no-confidence vote against the party leader if 50% of all members request it. This change aims to enhance transparency and ensure that the party is accountable to its members rather than a small group of shareholders.

  3.  @kimwit1307  Yes. It happened automatically in September.

  4. There are around 140,000 members. Reform stopped being a company limited by shares four months ago. It is now limited by members.

  5. No longer correct. As from September Reform UK is member-owned, not shareholder-owned.

  6. The Labour party has 370,500 members.

  7.  @DavidMoxham957  All of them.

  8.  @DavidMoxham957  No. Every member. About 150,000 of them.

  9.  @beecee2205  They can, in theory, vote him out though - perhaps even more easily than Labour could rid itself of Starmer.

  10.  @ArtsnCrafts-i3v  Applying for the free newsletter does NOT make you a member. This is one of the myths currently exercising the minds of the unthinking masses.

  11.  @ArtsnCrafts-i3v  Applying for the free Newsletter does NOT make you a member, contrary to rumour.

  12. Reform members have more rights than members of the Labour Party.

  13.  @clarecrawford9677  I can't find it either! The changes are certainly incorporated in the party's current constitution. My guess would be they are waiting for the AGM in January to formally register the change?

  14. Paranoia.

  15.  @amandag5072  They are members of a political organisation. Reform UK was initially set up as a private limited company, which meant that its members were essentially shareholders. However, in September 2024, Nigel Farage announced a significant change to the party's structure. Reform UK transitioned from a company limited by shares to a company limited by guarantee, making it member-owned.

  16.  @beecee2205  Of course he's in charge. Until 50% of the members call for a vote of no confidence. Where does the lying come into it?

  17.  @peterebel7899  They didn't. There was no other candidate. Farage is leader for five years. If he leaves for any reason and there is more than one proposed candidate there will be an election is which all members have a vote.

  18.  @kimwit1307  The changes are all incorporated in the Reform manifesto. Companies House has the technical details.

  19.  @peterebel7899  There was no need, there being no other candidate.

  20. No.

  22. Reform members - and that's what they are - actually have probably more rights than members of the Labour Party. Reform UK was initially set up as a private limited company, which meant that its members were essentially shareholders. However, in September 2024, Nigel Farage announced a significant change to the party's structure. Reform UK transitioned from a company limited by shares to a company limited by guarantee, making it member-owned.

  23.  @trevaudio  It happened automatically in September. So you are incorrect.

  24.  @clarecrawford9677  They are the shareholders, not the members. Reform UK is not a company limited by shareholder, but by membership.

  26.  @trevaudio  I'm afraid it you who has the wrong end of the stick. The transition from being shareholder-owned to member-owned has already happened with the legal position being that as described in my post. The members can vote Farage out and make their views on policy known at meetings.

  27.  @kimwit1307  I think you are possibly being a little paranoid. The changes are incorporated in the current constitution, which is, I believe, a legal document. Why the alteration in status from company limited by shareholder to one limited by membership does not show up on the Companies House website I cannot say. But I don't think it matters. Reform seems to me to be as democratically constituted as any other political party. (I am not a member, by the way.)

  28.  @kimwit1307  I think this probably applies to most politicians!

  30. On the contrary, Reform members can call for a vote of no confidence in their leader, and influence policy decisions far more readily than members of the Labour Party.

  31.  @peterrear2864  They can make their views known - and reject a leader if 50% of them call for a vote of no confidence.
