I don't believe politicians promises TBH.
I don't believe they even believe any of it either.

Recent events ought to have taught us that much.

A number of seasoned Political commentators seemed to describe today's events as 'successful' in as much as the current Gov't hoped to get through the day without too much mishap, backlash and difficulty. - What?!

Just how low has the bar dropped?! - if that is considered a valid objective.
They should be putting the Nation's interests first, not their own desperate survival.
