The Council has just published a new Game that lets people experience what it will be like to be the Finance Minister in government for the next five years.
The Council doesn’t have a role in costing manifestos or specific measures. But it can assess the likely resources and pressures faced in the coming years.
These two interactives allow people a chance to better understand the trade-offs facing the next government. This is both in terms of sustainably managing the public finances and delivering on new initiatives.
