    A few years back the minority government in power (Joe was) decided they
would put the gas up by 18%. The public was outraged, the opposition ganged
up and ousted the minority government. During the following election
campaign the Liberal party promised under no circumstances (and I remember
old True-dough saying this on nation wide T.V) would they raise the price of
gas by 18%.
    The public loved it so they voted them back with a huge majority.
    Well, I must admit that the Liberals DID keep their promise faithfully
and did not, under any circumstance (even though they had much reason to )
raise the price of gas by 18%. They raised it 35%.
