In both cases they were happy to let the perception that this is what would happen float around to help them in the referendum but in both cases they were never strictly promises. Politicians rarely outright lie, they usually word their 'promises' in such a way to have a get out clause.
We wouldn't have technicalities, we'd have certainty and anyone that thought they could hide behind get out clauses would soon find that they can't when they're immediately asked for clarification, interviews, adverts and tv shows couldn't continue or be broadcast until they're pinned down and before you know it straight answers and telling the truth are second nature to them, just like it is for the rest of us.

Oh and for the record I think both corbyn and the bus are liars, there was no ambiguity when they were making these bold statements or when they were allowing people to misinterpret them on purpose
