The Election Campaign and Party Manifestos

ICE published a grid of its key policy recommendations and compared them against the manifestos of the main parties. That document can be downloaded from the ICE website.

The document provides a clear indication of how close Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties are to ICE positions. There is also a contrast between the manifestos of this campaign and those of 2005 – this document indicates how the concept of infrastructure and other related terms have significantly increased in importance within political discourse over the past five years.

ICE National Offices in the Devolved Administrations are also actively monitoring and engaging to take account of the local political realities in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
