Thisdashboard allows you to filter all observations (by country, years etc.) and select the dataset indicators you are interested in. Additionally, it provides links to download (coded) Manifestos in PDF or CSV format.
This dashboard allows you to search through the whole Manifesto Text Corpus for search terms, policy categories etc. If you are only looking for a specific document you can also use our Corpus Document Dashboard.
The Manifesto Corpus now also contains English translations of the electoral programmes. About 1,600,000 quasi-sentences contained in the Manifesto Corpus were translated into English with the DeepL Translator. Together with the electoral programmes, which have English as the original language, the English language edition of the Manifesto Corpus now provides users with a resource that contains about 1,600 coded electoral programmes from more than 50 countries between 1946 and 2022 in English.
manifestoR is our package for R. It provides access to coded election programmes from the Manifesto Corpus and to the Main Dataset. Specific functions for scaling of coded political texts are also included.
manifestoberta is our large language model. It allows to automatically categorize a wide range of political discourse into the categories of the manifesto project coding scheme and across various languages.
The API provides programmable access to coded election programmes from the Manifesto Corpus and to the Main Dataset (e.g for usage in Python). Here you can find all the available functions and their parameters, information on the access and a changelog
This is the current version of our coding handbook covering topics like sampling, document selection, coder training, unitising, coding, the category scheme as well as information on the training and the entry test.
This data would not be possible without our great team. Additionally, you are invited to also check our acknowledgements to the almost 200 people that coded elections or/and helped us in other ways in the past.
We invite users of the Manifesto Project Dataset and/or the Manifesto Corpus to submit abstracts for a conference on 27-28 November 2023 to be held at the University of Gttingen, Germany, co-organized by the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB). Check out the call for papers and more information on the conference website.
Party Facts links datasets on political parties and provides an online encyclopedia about parties and their history as recorded in social science datasets. The Manifesto Project's party codes are a core component of this project. Thus Party Facts currently provides links of manifesto parties to more than 60 other datasets.
The Manifesto Project Primary Documents Dataset aims at providing extended metadata for the primary documents that are used by the Manifesto Project Dataset (MPDS) to estimate political preferences of parties. It is not continuously updated and currently version 2015a.
The Government Declaration Dataset (GDDS) contains content analytical data from government declarations published by governments in ten West-European countries and Israel between 1945 and 1998 (the time frame is shorter for some countries).

This manifesto sets out Liberal Democrat policies and priorities for the United Kingdom. The Scottish and Welsh Liberal Democrats set their own policy on devolved matters, and for those policy areas, the proposals here apply to England only. Our sister party, the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, makes its own policy on devolved issues in Northern Ireland.
The Liberal Democrats will use your contact details to send you information on the topics you have requested. Any data we gather will be used in accordance with our privacy policy at

Meanwhile, the climate emergency continues to accelerate. Scientists warn that we are currently on track for global temperatures to rise by at least 2.5C, far beyond levels at which humanity can safely survive.
It will take MPs prepared to make brave, principled choices on your behalf. And it will take the kinds of policies set out in this manifesto, for which elected Green MPs will fight hard every single day for you.
