General elections were held in Gibraltar on 28 November 2003. They were won by Peter Caruana's Gibraltar Social Democrats (GSD), who received over 50% of the popular vote and won eight of the 15 elected seats, making this their third successive win.
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]
