In these days of negative rhetoric, spin-doctoring and demagoguery it is difficult to know who actually stands for what. The differences between the parties seems huge at election time, but not that different in the day to day workings of the political system. My question is simply this:

If you make promises to do a certain thing for us, regardless of what it is, will you resign if you cannot keep your promise? Will you leave rather than compromise the promises that got you elected?
