Etymology
Manifesto [mid 17th century] is derived from the italian word 'manifestare', which is Latin meaning 'make public'. Italian ( or lingua italiana) is a Romance language spoken by about 63 million people as a First language, primarily in Italy.
Electoral manifestos
In some parliamentary democracies, political parties prepare electoral manifestos which set out both their strategic direction and outlines of prospective legislation should they win sufficient support in an election to serve in government. A parliamentary system, also known as parliamentarianism (and parliamentarism in American English) is a System of government in which Legislative proposals which are featured in the manifesto of a party which has won an election are often regarded as having superior legitimacy to other measures which a governing party may introduce for consideration by the legislature. Although, in recent decades the status of electoral manifestos in the UK has diminished somewhat due to a significant tendency for winning parties to, following the election, either ignore, indefinitely delay, or even outright reject manifesto policies which were popular with the public.
The presidential democracy equivalent is the party platform. A presidential system is a System of government where an executive branch exists and presides (hence the term separately from the Legislature A party platform, also known as a Manifesto, is a list of the principles which a Political party supports in order to appeal to the general public for the purpose
