Negative- his promises started in Aug. and Sept. he didn't became leader until early November about 2-3 weeks after the election.
I'm talking about how the Liberals handled the refugee crisis. Before they were elected, they weren't handling it because they weren't in power. You could say that the Liberals rushed handling of bring refugees into the country were caused by their wanting to keep an election promise, but it wasn't caused by them wanting to get elected because they weren't elected.
Nevertheless, whether you eventually begin to understand basic chronology is not my point. Even if you take a cynical look at it and say it was a political move to keep a campaign promise, the urgency I was referring to was the people escaping war and chemical weapons, living in refugee camps for years, drowning as they made their way to Europe.
