The University of Glasgow Centre for Public Policy has released a grid comparing manifesto asks on different topics, drawing from the manifestos political parties published for the 2026 Scottish parliamentary elections.

The grid compares the manifestos from the six parties most likely to gain seats in Holyrood: the SNP, Scottish Labour, Reform UK Scotland, Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Liberal Democrats, and Scottish Greens.

It focuses on eleven key policy areas, including health, transport, and energy. Within that there is prevention, funding, workforce, service reform, and much more.
