Governments are elected with general promises and not strategic plans.
Some Leaders would never be elected if voters already knew what is going to happen.
There is a need to separate opinions from commitments.
A personal opinion or vision is very welcome but can a general opinion or belief, be presented as a commitment?
We must find a process that politicians would ..."pay for their saying ".
Let's take for example, a formal agreement between two people to enter into a marriage.
Elections are equally important.
A formal agreement between the state and the leader of the political party.
The leader would have to face the supreme court and submit their strategic plan and commitments.
If the leader fails to complete the commitments taken, an economic fine should be ordered after appropriate hearing.
This economic fine should also be expanded to all political members that were involved to the specific commitment.
If you fail on your commitment, you will need to give back part of your salary.
Of course in certain predictable circumstances this should be applied, in case of unexpected physical or economic phenomena this process has small value.
In case one day this would be a law of the state probably the word i commit / i'm definitely sure / will start to fade from leader's vocabulary.
From my point of view general promises are equal to general wishes.
People should know how a leader will deploy their program and how much it will cost.
Leaders elected and their partners appointed and involved in unfulfilled commitments have occupied positions fraudulently or if not by deceit, by unfair means.
When they state only general positions but still say that they commit, it is an opening to fraud.
