But first...
YouGov found that 75% of the British public think that parties who win elections go back on most, nearly all, or all of their manifesto promises.
Full Fact can help. Our expert fact checkers, policy leaders and editors are gearing up to launch a new tracker to clearly measure government progress against its missions, promises and pledges. This tracker will be user-friendly, and available to all on Full Fact’s website so that collectively we can hold the government’s feet to the fire.
Our preliminary work has found nearly 300 pledges that we think could be trackable, ranging across topics such as health, justice, and climate. We will need to determine how many of these to measure. Many will require closer inspection, in-depth research, and collaboration with independent experts before we can get a definitive answer.
