Imagine your friend promises to help you clean your room, but halfway through, they decide they want to play video games instead. That’s like how governments sometimes change their minds on policies, they make a promise, then something new catches their attention, and the plan changes. It doesn’t mean they’re bad at making decisions; it just means there are a lot of things to think about.
Examples
- A government promised a new school, but later decided it would be better to build a new hospital instead.
- A mayor said they’d improve the roads, but then focused on fixing the parks instead.
- A government wanted to cut taxes, but after talking with business leaders, they changed their plan.
