This isn't really a chapter, just a brief outline of each party's manifesto. That means that I won't be responding to reviews until next chapter. Think of this as Chapter 24 ½.

PS – I may refer to something called the political spectrum, which describes the party's ideologies. If a party is left wing that means it is Communist. If it is right wing that means it is Nationalist. A centre Party believes in parts of both. Centre-left is a party that inclines on Communism, a centre-left party inclines on Nationalism. Just thought I should clear that up.
