Politicians lie to win. Imagine you're trying to get a cookie, and your friend says they'll give it to you if you do something hard. But if you don't do it, they might take the cookie anyway, that's what politicians do! They make big promises to get people to vote for them, but sometimes they don’t keep those promises.
Examples
- Politicians lie when they say they will give everyone a cookie if they win the election, but then only some people get cookies.
- Politicians lie by saying they are going to clean up the park, but it ends up being messy after all.
- Politicians lie when they claim there is no traffic in town, even though cars are stuck for hours.
