WHAT IS A
Manifesto
A manifesto is a formal, written commitment published by a political party before an election. It sets out what the party believes, what it promises to do if it wins power, and what it is asking you to trust it with.
When a party publishes a manifesto, it is making a promise to citizens. This archive exists so that promise is never easy to forget.
It is not a slogan. It is not a speech. It is a document — made in public, on the record, before you vote.
