Student Version

No matter how kindly voters treat the panderer in the voting booth, the public overwhelmingly believes that candidates will say one thing to get elected and then ignore their pledges once in office. This lack of sincerity$,$ to the extent that happens, reduces public confidence in government. Candidates should say what they believe. At the same time, the public should demand that candidates speak frankly and truthfully about issues of concern, and it must understand that once a person is elected and looks at the fact in much greater detail, changes in attitude do and should occur.

How could voter trust in politicians be improved? Simon $(2003)$ suggests three ways that could improve the relationship between voters and politicians: $(1)$ Candidates should be open about their beliefs; $(2)$ Voters should pressure candidates to share their beliefs openly; $(3)$ Voters should appreciate that candidates can and should change their beliefs given access to new information or a changed landscape.
