 On election day, perhaps.  After that, they do whatever they
damn well please.
 

Indeed.
Morden politics consists of:
- working out what the public wants
- telling them you are going to do it
- getting elected
- lining your pockets
- lining the pockets of those who paid off the people necessary to get you elected.
- lying to the public about why you couldn't do - or are doing - what they wanted, when you patently are not.
Dictatorships simple omit the first three steps.
