Political parties will say anything and everything to get your vote. Every political party has a hidden agenda they keep under wraps til after the election.
Unacceptable.
It's that sort of uninspired thinking that prevents change from ever happening.
Women don't need to vote
Why should we split the atom
Who cares if we go to the moon
Some races are worse then others
There is a simple solution about politicians who lie; as voters we demand it written in the law that if a political party fudges anything substantially within a year of an election they get fired and a new election called.
And if that does not work keep plugging away until we find a solution to get people in power who put the public interest first, not the lobbyists.
The real pity is most citizens are too lazy or lacking creativity to get p'off enough to make a change.
The beauty of democracy is we get what we deserve. And personally allowing someone in power who is a convicted criminal drunk driver is outrageous on so many levels. The "character" standard for public service must be way way higher then that.
