Election promises should not be trusted, especially in the times today where politics is corrupted and being made by some as their professions. When they considered politics as their profession, politicians do everything to stay in power, utilizing all the government's funds for their personal use.
Now to win the hearts of the voters, Politicians tend to add sugary coats to their words. They promise to do impossible things just for them to be elected in office. Some promised to end corruption, some promised to end drugs in 3 to 6 months, and so on. Even others promised to pick the stars just for a sure seat in the government.
But who are to be blamed once politicians do not carry out their promises?
Do we blame them? Of course not.
If someone is to be blamed, it should be us, voters. If we only look at their track records as a qualification for them to be elected in office, then we would be in a happy place. politicians will not make false promises if no one is very foolish enough to believe.
