Talk:Surgery (politics)

Clientelist?
What the hell does "clientelist" mean? Not a word I've ever heard before, certainly not used in UK politics.

Why "surgery"?
While watching BBC news after the stabbing of Davide Ammes I've heard the term "surgery" used several times. In what sense is a meeting with constituents a surgery? Would someone please include that info in the article? John Link (talk) 22:43, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

The article says 'a "doctor's office" in American parlance', but that's just wrong. A surgery is an operation involving cutting. The term might also refer to the room in which the operation is performed, but there are many doctor's offices where no such operations are ever performed.
