So, Agaricus, you believe that when a politician says he 'promises to do something about' a problem, this will result in the problem being fixed. As opposed to the 'setting up a committee/digesting the committees conclusion/asking for consultations/digesting the consultations conclusions/kicking it into the long grass now the public have forgotten about it..' a bit like say, 'we will clear the deficit within the life of this parliament' or 'an end to boom and bust'.
Keep wearing your tinfoil hat dear, nursey will be along soon with your lithium...
