What are the key policy commitments that would help swing your vote? Share your ideas and we’ll build alternative manifestos for each party
The Conservatives pledged to build the “Big Society”. Labour would ensure a “future fair for all”. The Lib Dems, meanwhile, guaranteed “change that works for you”.
Sound familiar? These were the pitches made by these parties in their election manifestos five years ago. Containing both specific policies and overall aspirations, manifestos form the bedrock of a party’s message to voters, to be relentlessly hammered home on the doorstep and social media alike during an election campaign. And despite high profile U-turns, manifestos are a good guide to a party’s likely legislative programme.
