Coalitions

A coalition was formed between the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party (GSLP) and Liberal Party of Gibraltar (GLP) called the GSLP–Liberal Alliance in order to combat the GSD. The Alliance was led by Joe Bossano.[1][2]

Party platforms

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.[3]

GLSP-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.[4]
