Nobody doubts that politicians ought to fulfil their promises -
what people cannot agree about is what this means in practice. The
purpose of this book is to explore this issue through a series of
case studies. It shows how the British model of politics has
changed since the early twentieth century when electioneering was
based on the articulation of principles which, it was expected,
might well be adapted once the party or politician that promoted
them took office. Thereafter manifestos became increasingly central
to electoral politics and to the practice of governing, and this
has been especially the case since 1945. Parties were now expected
to outline in detail what they would do in office and explain how
the policies would be paid for. Brexit has complicated this
process, with the 'will of the people' as supposedly expressed in
the 2016 referendum result clashing with the conventional role of
the election manifesto as offering a mandate for action.
