How this page works
Each card quotes the promise in the speaker's own words and links to where it was said. Its status moves only on evidence: a plan, a bill, money in a Budget, or delivery. Costs are a year, as a range, with their source. Every party is held to the same published standard; the method explains how cards are checked.
