An election promise that you have gone back on after the election is over. It is important not to define what promises are core and what are non-core before the election itself.
After winning the 1996 Australian Federal election John Howard slashed spending on Education, Health, Social Welfare blaming a budget deficit left by the previous government. When it was pointed out that he had promised not to cut spending on these areas as part of his election platform and that he had lied, he claimed that these were "non-core promises"

Get the Party Promise mug.A made up expression when someone is trying to avoid committing to a "full" promise, so they have an excuse (loop hole) when they don't do what they have "half promised". A glorified way of saying "maybe".
Persons who tend to try to get away with using a "half promise" are:
a) Those who will not promise often, because they take them very seriously, and are a person of their word.
b) Those who are not good at keeping promises.
Note: In final reiteration, do not be fooled, this is not an acceptable form of promise.
