Those who are elected democratically who do not act according to what they promised to the voters they would do if elected, should be tried for treason. CMV.

Lying to the people who elected you to responsibly act upon the promises that won you an election I feel is an act of treason, and the punishment for this disloyalty should be of the highest order. They should be tried by the people who voted for them or an unbiased committee to decide the verdict. 

Politics shouldn't be a career where you say whatever the electorate want to hear just so the individual can roam free to do as they please.

I understand that not all promises or believes in party manifestos can be acted upon, but those who have the opportunity to do so should act on what they stand for.

I also realize that most politicians are legitimate and that something like this is quite a strong and extreme view, but corruption and under-the-table handshakes are ruining what should be the sanctity of democracy.

EDIT: This is about all countries with democracies, I understand that some countries have Constitutions that follow a similar rule of thought, but this should be a staple of all democracies.
Just my two cents.

You can only ensure your promises in a dictatorship. The entire point of a democracy is that people will compromise and hopefully reach some satisfactory middle ground.

Treason is such an over reaction that politicians would choose to do nothing.

Also say a vote came down to 49 yes 51 no. Oh well, time to throw 49 people in jail.

Edit:

Bye bye third parties. 

Bye bye opportunity to change your mind after getting new information. "Yes, we said we'd get a new trade deal with china but they just declared war on japan"
