How can leaders of democratic nations be held accountable for breaking a promise made in an election campaign? A promise that might have helped them win the election, and if they have a majority of parliament, another election might not be for another 4 years.
"Voting for the other guy" is not an acceptable response if the consequences are current and waiting years is out of the question. Also the affected could be a minority, and without the voting power, another issue regarding a larger demographic could offset their influence.

Not quite, but Merk your way off the point. If the person in power makes a promise, how can you make sure he actually dose it.
Just kidding. Rob a bank.
