Submission Content
However elected, there should be some mechanism that allows candidates and parties to post (for public review) legally binding promises of performance, with clear consequences. Our current system rewards deceit, leaving voters only to choose between liars. Politicians should be held accountable AT LEAST as much as job applicants misrepresenting their abilities or sellers misrepresenting their products or services. Perhaps use the BC Trade Practice Act as a starting model.
