Munazza Malik

The manifesto spans housing, tax reform, healthcare access, education, tourism, the charitable sector, and air links, covering a wide range of policy areas. It takes a position on contested questions, supporting 'GST-Plus' rather than standalone GST, advocating higher-density urban development on the Gibraltar model, and proposing to transform Visit Guernsey into an arm's-length body. The vision is broadly stated and cross-cutting, though no single area receives a thoroughgoing reform programme with a named funding envelope.

A small number of pledges carry specific details: the tourism target of 330,000 visitors by 2027, the named 'GST-Plus' position, the four numbered Third Sector asks with RPI-linked funding and multi-year agreements, and the named Seafront Enhancement Area programme. Most other pledges, including those on healthcare subsidies, housing affordability, skills gap measures, and air link review, are directional in character, naming goals or areas of advocacy without figures, timelines, or named mechanisms. The education funding section identifies several sources, but without amounts attached to any of them.

The manifesto supports the 'GST-Plus package' as its main tax position, which is an internally coherent stance that ties revenue-raising to lower-income protection. The charitable sector pledges, including full GST exemption for charities and expanded tax relief, are spending or revenue-reduction commitments for which no offsetting revenue source is named. Education reform is assigned multiple funding sources, including budget reallocation, employer training tax incentives, business sponsorships, and efficiency savings, though none is quantified. Healthcare subsidy expansion similarly names no revenue source. The manifesto's internal logic is broadly consistent but several spending commitments rely on unquantified savings or incentives.

The Scorecard records Malik as a Member of the Committee for Health and Social Care and a Member of the Committee for Home Affairs. The healthcare pledges, including expanding community pharmacy services and exploring further subsidies, are in the same subject area as the Health and Social Care role. The home affairs role is in the same subject area as the immigration and recruitment pledges. The housing, tax, education, tourism, charitable sector, and air links pledges sit outside these recorded roles and would require a States majority of 20 of 38 deputies, along with willing P&R engagement on fiscal matters.

A portion of the manifesto consists of value statements and directional lists rather than specific commitments, for example the closing lines offering 'integrity, action and a genuine commitment' and the bullet lists under tax policy that describe goals such as 'attract new investment' and 'stimulate innovation' without attached measures. The Third Sector and tourism sections are more structured and concrete. Overall, roughly half the text carries a specific commitment or named mechanism, while the remainder is general statements of intent or belief.
