Policy statement (9)
I believe the answer is:
manifesto
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">policy statement</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(statement of political policies)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for manifesto that I've seen before include "Public declaration of intent" , "Soften aim (anag) - platform" , "plans for a party" , "Statement of beliefs" , "Proclamation" .)
