Election manifestos

The Scottish Pensioners’ Forum (SPF) plays an active and influential role during elections through manifestos, hustings, and support work.

The SPF produces detailed manifestos for general elections, Scottish Parliament elections, and local government elections.

These documents outline key priorities for older people and call on all candidates to commit to policies that protect pensioners’ rights and welfare.

Key themes in recent manifestos include:

• Maintaining the Triple Lock on pensions
• Opposing any further increase in the State Pension Age
• Compensation for WASPI women affected by pension age changes
• Adequate funding for health and social care
• Action on fuel poverty and fair energy pricing
• Protecting universal benefits like the Winter Fuel Payment and free TV licences
