General Election 2024 Manifestos? (lemmy.world)

I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a non-biased source of all party Manifestos?

I remember some time ago there was a site where people could answer questions on subjects that were important to them and based on those which party is recommended.

Manifestos aren’t due out for a week or two yet.

As the manifesto are not released yet. At best it will be a guess.

Week or so you may start seeing 2019 sites updating. As they get ready for release.

But honestly. Most folks will be looking at voting against the tories. Rather then voting for policies.

FPTP tends to punish idealised voting. And the current polling makes it clear removing tories is more important then specific policies to most voters. So it is very likely tactical voting will be the bigger site motivation this time.

howtovote.co.uk was probably the site, but it's not been updated since 2015.

This is definitely the kind of thing I'm looking for, such a shame it isn't maintained.

The focus these days seems to be on tactical voting... Maybe that's why it hasn't been updated?

From memory the BBC have a decent tool on their site closer to the election that allows you to do something similar with choosing topics important to you which then suggests the party manifesto most aligned to your priorities.

Is kind of annoying that in most areas especially mine tactical voting is the only option if i dont want the torries back in. I saw this posted on another thread https://stopthetories.vote/ Seems to have been updated for the most recent local elections.

Very. But unfortunately FPTP dose tend to force it. And the big parties know this so will not help to remove it.
