Although Labour is currently ahead in the surveys, many of our panelists are skeptical about the financial feasibility of their campaign promises.

Further information: Farage insists on participating in the general election leaders' debate. Sunak claims that voting for Reform Party would give Labour unchecked power.

"One has to question whether the proposed changes are feasible, and if they are, what the repercussions might be," one person commented.

Feedback was generally favorable. "I think the Labour policies are quite pertinent, particularly in the areas of education and environmental issues. They seem pretty persuasive too."

Manifestos play a crucial role in election campaigns, serving as a key factor in the decision-making process.

However, most members of our group remain undecided, and have not yet committed to a specific party or its policies.

"One voter pointed out that the major unresolved issue for all groups remains the financing, and it's still ambiguous how each party plans to secure the funds needed to execute their proposals."
