Political Party Platforms

Here is the link for the Political Party Platform Powerpoint.

The Powerpoint has bullet notes about each party and what their platform was for the 2015 federal election.

For a more in depth look, follow this link.

Students have taken notes on the political platforms. They will be researching the top 3 things that they think their party should promote for the platform that students will be writing.

Students political platforms will be due by the end of this week. We will be working on them for the remainder of the week.
