This is a piece of writing that explains who the person is and what they will do if they get into power.

Your task is to think about what you would do if you ran the country and create your own personal manifesto to explain it.

  • Download the manifesto template
  • Fill it in with your own ideas
  • Print it out and stick it in your book
