Wow imagine if he just actually kept his campaign promise
In regards to campaign promises:
Trudeau (1050 promises)
Not yet rated (4%)
In progress (9%)
Kept (42%)
Partially kept (25%)
Broken (20%)
That's, actually not terrible.
I don't disagree, and I'm pissed that he didn't institute electoral reform, but not keeping campaign promises is about half of what politicians do. It would be nice to have something done about that, where politicians were fined, oh, 6 month's salary, for each platform promise they didn't keep, party and personal, but which politician would vote that in?
People can change.
40 Liberals have voted in favour of advancing Citizensโ Assembly, compared to 3 conservatives.
I guess I'm saying I wished he hadn't changed, and just did the thing he said he was going to do originally.
Harper wrote a fantastic essay on electoral reform before he was elected.
I'm not impressed by a liberal or conservative supporting reform when polling shows they'd benefit from the proposed change and then immediately forget it once they're elected w/ FPTP.
