What is a Political Platform?
- A political platform describes the official policies of a political party. It reflects a variety of issues, including those linked to social programs and taxations models.
- Political parties create platforms to reflect the values of their members. Parties also consult constituents in electoral ridings to learn more about issues that concern voters.
- Parties add and remove policies as issues become more or less important to their members and to voters. Issues can change in response to local, national and world events.
