PARTY PLATFORM
(Redirected from Political platform)
A 'party platform', also known as a manifesto, is a list of the principles which a political party supports in order to appeal to the general public for the purpose of having said party's candidates voted into office. This often takes the form of a list of support for, or opposition to, controversial topics. Individual topics are often called planks of the platform.
★ Franklin Roosevelt's 1932 New Deal
★ The 1948 United States Democratic Party's platform including civil rights
★ Lyndon Baines Johnson's War on Poverty, 1965
★ The 1993 Liberal Party of Canada Red Book
★ The 1994 United States Republican Party's Contract with America (technically not a platform because promising discussion of measures rather than their adoption)
★ Mike Harris's 1995 Common Sense Revolution
★ Democratic Party 100 Hours, first weeks of 110th United States Congress
★ List of democracy and elections-related topics
★ Election promise
★ Platforms of U.S. political parties, 1840-present from the American Presidency Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara
