  1. Yep, it reminds me of the Conservative Party in the UK that overpromised on Brexit and now are very unpopular because they can't deliver on what they promised. I know why parties do this to win elections, but the more they overpromise, the more likely it's going to come back and bite them on the arse when reality kicks in on what they can really do.

  2. True, and I find that over promising during the election and not delivering on those promises, only come back to bite them on the arse, we see this in a lot of countries around the world, where a lot is promised to win an election, but once in power, they have to come back down to earth and be more realistic in what's achievable, hence the honeymoon phase that last a year or so until reality kicks in for voters. The UK is getting the same kind of treatment with Brexit, reality of Brexit is really kicking in now. Basically, parties should stop overpromising to win elections, whiles at the same time being better at explaining to voters on what needs to be done to get the economy back on track, for good or bad and sometimes hard choices need to be made, especially in hard times, explaining that to voters better, might take some of the sting out of the pain, but the way things are, most voters don't trust what governments say. Italy are having more trouble than most modern countries because of its high level of corruption, north-south divide and high debt levels, basically, they need major economic reforms in the country to get back on track, something that's probably not easy to do with all the corruption around, but I feel if Italy doesn't do it, they are going to fall further behind other European countries, then many will end up using the EU has the scapegoat just like British voters did, even thought the real problem is more internal than it is to do with the EU, but people will want someone to blame and usually national governments blame the EU even thought most of the problems were created by the national government, Italy and the UK are a prime example of that over the last 15 years.
