Abstract
Chapter 5 ended with the conclusion that there is indeed a widespread perception of politicians as promise-breakers among citizens. It is thereby obvious that the pledge puzzle describes more than a suspicion among scholars; it illustrates an actual contradiction between public perception and the results of current research. Scholars studying the fulfilment of election promises thereby challenge a clearly common view among citizens.
