Another election brings another round of promises from politicians trying to win votes, but how many did the last government keep? It’s likely more than you think.

Lemme save you some time:

70% delivered (vs 66% most governments)
20% failed to deliver
i guess that leaves 10% as thwarted,....

Which promises matter depends on you

I'm never quite sure how much info to quote in the submission body for links like this, since with those summaries I imagine very few people will actually bother to read it now. Maybe most people wouldn't bother to read it either way though, idk.

Sorry, no intention to be critical of your post. I would have done exactly as you did.

And thanks for posting it!

Yeah no worries, just thinking out loud :P
