GSD
The GSD had its main focus on international relations, improvement of housing, improvement of infrastructure, and improvement of social services. They also stated that they were working towards making Gibraltar something the people could be proud of again.2003-07-31 GSD Manifesto 2003 by GSD Gibraltar Social Democrats https://issuu.com/gibraltarsocialdemocrats/docs/gsd_manifesto_2003 2025-04-14 Issuu en
GSLP-Liberal Alliance
The Alliance sought to counter the GSD party and, according to their 2003 manifesto, to improve housing, education, social affairs, services for senior citizens, medical services, employment, the general economy, businesses, tourism, transport, foreign affairs, services for the youth, services for sports, and the environment. They hoped to achieve those goals by the 2007 general election.https://assets-global.website-files.com/64f88b6ba1645afd0fa157dc/651af2f0d41d0f52b57eb2ff_GSLP-Manifesto-2003-5.pdf General Election Manifesto GSLP/ Liberal Party 2003 Gibraltar
