Making sense of Jubilee, NASA’s blueprints quite a daunting task

It’s promise season. This week, Jubilee and NASA launched their manifestos, highlighting policy priorities they would implement if elected into office. As such, they are supposed to indicate what the future looks like to help us make an informed choice. Manifestos are an opportunity for political parties to convince us about the differences between them.

For the winning party, the manifesto morphs into a sort of contract with voters and therefore becomes a yardstick against which we measure their success. Little wonder that Jubilee focused on outlining their successes from the 2013 manifesto while NASA accuses them of failing to deliver on promises.
