Background
Manifestos are the basis on which voters choose who to elect, yet we think many promises are broken once in power. This undermines trust in democracy and leaves voters powerless until the next election. A 70% threshold, independently verified, would ensure accountability and restore faith that promises made during campaigns must be kept.
