Reporting of UK political parties
Network output must reflect the political parties in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For this reason specific party labels are preferable to general descriptions of "the opposition". The exception to this is in phrases like "the official opposition" or the "shadow cabinet" and titles like "the Leader of the Opposition" or "Shadow Minister" which, in the Westminster context, have a formal and specific meaning. The description "Shadow Minister" is reserved specifically for the main party of opposition at Westminster.
