If we have this data for each election, someone could also compile statistics on how well each party follows through with their promises. Ideally weighted by how much voters care about each promise.

We have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren’t promising to do. They aren’t, however, legally enforceable so parties aren’t obliged to actually follow up on their promises.
