100%, I’d like to see the stats on what Politicians say they will repeal pre-elections, and what they actually end up repealing once they are in power. In New Zealand here at least I can think of multiple anecdotal examples where there is a lot of bluster pre election but then the law either doesn’t get changed, or only modified in a minor way;
