2024 ELECTION MANIFESTO POVERTY AUDIT

HOW DO THE MANIFESTOS STACK UP?

At ASAP UK we believe that there is both an unmet need and a demand for quality independent assessment of the pledges coming from political parties. We hope that you – as an individual concerned by poverty – will find our results help you think through your choices.

Continuing our work since the 2015 election we have brought together a range of academics who have carried out a review of 9 key topics to consider the effectiveness of the policy platforms in reducing poverty. This audit, we were able to review manifestos of the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democratic Party, Green Party, Reform and Plaid Cymru. We were not able to review the SNP manifesto was not published in time to be included in the work.
