Yes, by the same logic manifestos and other statements of intent are also "pure puffery" as they're not yet law either.

Or even proposing new laws by floating bills when they don't already have the guaranteed votes - or even know they'll never pass. I'm sure many here would also want to dismiss that as "pure puffery".

Really why do we let anyone but the current majority party say anything at all? It's just puffery.
