How may politicians have campaigned saying one thing and do a completely different thing?
They have been getting away with that only because we let them. They know that once they get in, it is awfully hard to unseat them and they get re-elected over and over again.
If politicians who didn't keep their campaign promises were thrown out of office at the next election, they would start keeping their promises. Right now, there is no penalty for that and it is us (collectively speaking) to blame.
