Certainly, parties and candidates attempt to persuade voters on the basis of their track records (and by impugning their opponents' track records). If they do not follow through on their intentions, promises, and commitments, access to information and instant communication is such that empty promises simply will no longer persuade most people.
因为上述国家的选民被宏伟的目标、响亮的保证和郑重的承诺所环绕，他们当然期望当选的党派和候选人能够兑现自己的承诺。当然，政党和候选人兑现承诺的记录（和责难对手兑现承诺的记录）是说服选民的基础。如果实现不了承诺的目标和约定，资料查阅和即时沟通能够确保空头支票无法让多数民众信服。
