Broken Promises

In the first couple of years of a parliament promises get broken all the time. They're banking on people not remembering by the time of the next election. I don't understand why people abandoned the Liberals at the last election, the coalition worked much better than giving the Tories a free rein, it stemmed their worst excesses whilst still improving the economy, what was so bad? Now we get this kind of thing (not to mention throwing the toys out of the pram in Europe!) Hit 'em when they're down, by Mr Morality-Smith!
