Does it matter? We see the same spectrum of truth versus ignorance pretty much in any genuine Democracy.

But to that end:

  • Why do you trust the state broadcasters, specifically?
  • How are you actually informed on the success or failures of each policy?
  • Who is telling you that the promises were kept or not?

Do you understand that the opposite party has a tendency to obstruct the other from action? Here in the US we have one party that wants to make genuine progress while the other blocks them at every turn. This leads to general stagnation where the apathetic centrist just throws their hands up in confusion. But anyone who's even remotely paying attention throughout the years understands what game is being played.

To be truly informed, you'll never be able to grasp the nuance and depth of policy and cut through the bs unless you dedicate more time than you already are. If we actually began to delve into the nuance of policy, that would likely be revealed.
