MANIFESTO TEST: PA promises debt write-offs and a 3-month rates holiday
This is a populist manifesto with many clever ideas. The question is: will they be implemented?
The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has put forth a populist election manifesto that focuses on municipal bills and local government issues. The party promises debt write-offs and a three-month holiday from property rates for qualifying households. The PA's manifesto is distinct in its attention to the inner workings of local government, including the promise of opening municipal books, auditing infrastructure, and publishing service repair times during the first 100 days of a PA-led administration.
