At the risk of being pedantic (and maybe too American), isn't this a promise from politicians that it will be overturned? The title might be masking that a little bit...

(The important words in my question being "promise" and "politicians," for hopefully self-evident reasons)



Yeah true, but action is set to happen in parliament tomorrow, so if they are just lying it will be evident very soon.


In Canada you would never come out and say that a highly disliked legislation piece is going to be overturned and then not overturn it. You would be incinerated at election time.


If it were a big enough issue you'd just get recalled by your constituents and then you've got to justify it to try to get re-elected.
