I wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of politicians' promises just before a general election.

They lie, you know.

Interesting concept.
Assuming that the two statements are directly linked, are broken promises lies?
I suppose one could argue that a promise that was never intended to be kept is as immoral as a lie, but then one would have to prove intention.

That would mean the UK becoming a democracy...

So it'll never happen!

Too many vested interests who are happy to keep the current 'First Thief Past The Post' system
