Election manifestos should be legally binding contracts with voters.
The electorate's votes for a general or local election should be regarded as entering into a legally binding contract based upon the manifestos. We cannot, any longer, subvert democracy by getting people to waste their precious votes on manifestos that are patently a tissue of lies.
The Government/Parliament/Local governments should be subject to the same legals terms as any business entering into a contract. What they offer the electorate is the same as any tender from a business. The electorate vote on those promises or claim of intent. Therefore the electorate should be able to declare a breach of contract, after a year has passed, and get the courts to agree that a new election should be held.
