 @szakib … huh? It's very common to use the term manifesto in an election?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto  @amapanda I think you live in America (the continent). I'm in Europe, the primary word used here is "programme". A manifesto would be also about values and beliefs, not only a plan / set of promises. I have so far only seen this word used by anarchists and left-leaning parties. @szakib I'm Irish, and live in Germany. 🤣 Here in english-speaking europe, the term manifesto is common. e.g. the BBC for referring to the 2024 UK election: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxeez8271nvo so erm |

@openstreetmap I love it that the applications are called "manifestoes".
