Sounds like working as intended - "supporting an idea" is meaningless without expressing priorities and strength - you claim to support some idea but will demonstrably give up on it if it gets you to the ruling majority - if I care about this idea I should not vote for you.

"We support clean energy" - "we had to support opening new coal plants because we wanted to get support on our budget proposal for some agency"... Do I really give a shit they claim to support clean energy ?

You're right, that's why the platform should be able to show all the promises a party has made and how many they also implemented (helped to). That would be decisive for single-issue parties, and still very helpful for major ones - you can see if the delivered anything at all and if yes, on which points. Like, did the Greens deliver anything on their green agenda, or just checked a few points on the social issues: did they deliver on their core points?
