We have a Swedish politician that could take a lesson from that... don't promise what you can't keep, or take the consequences. If you say you will eat your shoes if something happens, it is a promise you should keep. Kudos to Herzog for living up to his words.

Not to derail this into another subthread about the politics of sweden, but who are you refering to? The only one I know who have made such a promise was Kindberg-Batra when she was a candidate for the Stockholm municipality.

I would guess Annie Lööf. https://twitter.com/lindbergpolemik/status/14094562255955763...

Yes, I meant her

I meant Lööf, I did not know Kindberg-Batra had broken a similar promise.

Well she (being a bit of a edgelord in her younger days) promised to "show skin" if she got elected, and some people thoght that they would get a strip tease or something like that. As I remember it, she did post a square super zoomed in image supposedly of her body but it was impossible to actually identify any specific body part.

Only one ? All politicians i know are patologic liars and they will twist as the wind changes direction.

Only one that promised to eat her shoes, and failed to do it once she broke her promise
