 ises\, Party Behaviour and Voter Perceptions (Palgrave 2011) and new mater
 ials. She addresses the following questions: Why are citizens so convinced
  that parties usually break their election promises when empirical researc
 h shows that most election promises are acted upon? Under what circumstanc
 es do parties fulfill more promises? Are representatives given credit for 
 the promises they fulfill and blame for the ones they break?
