A GAME OF TWO VERDICTS
Win the election.
But at what cost?
You can lose office and leave the country stronger. You can win a second term and inherit a mess of your own making. Doing well at both is the challenge.
Open the red box.
Build a budget, watch the market reaction, then face pay disputes, energy prices and inconvenient commitments.
Meet your legacy.
The election is only one verdict. Find out how households, services and the public finances fare after your term.
