I think in this case, the public does expect two things.

He said that the public should "rightly expect the courts to understand the community and its problems."

According to one selector he was only chosen because the public expected him to go.

The public will expect prime ministers to take real policy initiatives.

For some reason, the public expected Diana to be with him wherever he went.

If they were more candid, perhaps the public would expect higher standards, as I do.

The public also expect this of us, and I am convinced that they even have a right to it.

As a result, the public can certainly expect more news coverage of the case.

They outline the improvements that the public can expect from government spending.

Parliament and the public would expect nothing less from you.
