General election: what would swing your vote?

As you might know, Tony Blair (pictured, in his favourite cap) launched the Labour Party manifesto today, with a pledge for action on HIV/AIDS treatment, commitment to an international arms trade treaty and a timetable for phasing out agricultural export subsidies (if, like us, you don't really know what this means, have a look on the trade page). As the other parties outline their election manifestos, everyone at Oxfam will be keen to see what commitments to international development are made. And we're really interested to find out what YOU consider the most important political issues. Is it tuition fees? Poverty relief? Public services? We've set up a poll to find out what politicians need to do to get your backing. Vote now! And then vote for real on 5 May.

Nice hat Tony!

why doesn't Oxfam publish its own manifesto outlining what action it would like to see the incoming government (regardless of which party leads it) take on various development issues?

just a thought

Hi Jake. Oxfam have already published a list of the issues they would like to see the next government act on. If you're interested, you can see them here: Election Issues.
