Look no further than the UCP with their "we're not campaigning on this" and then they get in power and the first thing they do is start looking at a provincial pension, provincial police and whatever other separatist things they have.

And then you get people saying "I can't vote for the NDP becuase they didn't campaign on a carbon tax," which is exactly what happened. Telling the truth doesn't work, and tricking voters doesn't work.
