This is complete nonsense Den.

We do not elect a president and a party manifesto is not legally enforceable - it is a set of aspirations. We have an opportunity to judge a government’s fidelity to its manifesto at the next general election.

In the intervening years, you have elected a local MP who owes you both industry and judgment - that is, they don’t just work hard, they work intelligently based on circumstances as they unfold. If you believe the party of government has reneged on its promises then the general election is your opportunity to have your say. The date of that election is in 2024, or sooner *if* the government chooses.
