Policy

image by jurveston

Who do you think you are? Your policies (the things you would do) tell voters what your party is all about.

You need to have strong policies so that people know what your party believes in. If people believe in the same things and like your policies, they will probably vote for you!

Most parties have a policy on education, the environment, health, money and law and order.

You can have some fun policies, but the sensible ones give your party a serious and professional image.

Check out the Party Information section to see what policies the real parties have.


Manifesto

Parties usually have very long detailed policies. So, at election time they make a short Manifesto which tells people their main priorities in a simple way.

* Use this Make Your Own Manifesto template to write your own. Keep it simple!
* Make colourful copies of your manifesto to hand out to voters around school.
