I consider that sort of thing, which I covered in my post, to be different then lying about what was even possible. Two different sort of things. A candidate may make a promise with all intentions of keeping it, but discovers the reality is different when in office. In the case of Brexit, the reality was there all along and they lied about it to the people of the UK.
