Ah, yes. But do they mean it?
By 'they' do you mean politicians?
If "yes', asked and answered.
THIS is true: A few years ago,our then Prime Minister, John Howard, was taken to task for breaking a campaign promise. (no,really).
Speaking slowly,as if to a rather dim child,the PM explained that the issue in question had not been a 'core promise'.What's rather scary is that people actually swallowed that explanation.
