I would like to see legal ramifications for candidates who get elected on certain promises and then, once elected, make no effort to carry them out or otherwise do the complete opposite.

I'm not sure how it could work but you could adopt the concept of feduciary responsibility used to keep CEOs accountable to boards of supervisors. This would allow for failiur but make them accoutable for making effort. That sounds like a blurry thing to enforce but that's why I'm saying adopt another system. Some of the subject's difficulty has already been thought about a lot and has had court procedings work out the fine lines of what exactly would be enforced.

But I think in general the analogy of them being interviewees in a job hunt is limited and they are closer to salesmen. They pitch, they get you in a limited term contract that is a bitch to renig. The relationship really is closest to sales. You can sue a salesman for fraud can't you?
