Manifestos - GE 2011

geeky

Hi,

Had my first canvasser last night (FG) - he told me that the party were releasing their manifesto in the coming days. Labour, I understand, are publishing their manifesto step-by-step starting tomorrow, and will be done by 2011. Don't know what the plans are for FF, Greens or SF.

It makes sense to have a thread where boardsies can link to and download the party manifestos as and when they're published - be great if a mod wants to sticky it, but I'll keep this post updated either way with links as they become available.

There have been a couple of threads about this in the last week or two and it is likely there will be more in the run up to the election. I think it would be a good idea to sticky this thread so those who are interested can find out about all the main parties. Also, it would leave no excuses for ignorant posts by people assuming to know what a party will do because of their political persuasion (the thread about FG oppressing workers springs to mind).

Anyway, all I can find on manifestos is news articles but below are the links to the policy pages for the main parties;

Fine Gael
Labour
Fianna Fail
Green Party
Sinn Fein
United Left Alliance

I will have another look for actual election manifesto documents at the weekend and I will link them then.
