Rejected petition Place a legal obligation on politicians to deliver campaign promises.

Rejected on

The Farage 350 Law.
Campaign promises are often quickly discarded. The public has little faith in promises made. We have a right to hold politicians to their word. Campaign promises must be registered, costed, deliverable. Barring exceptional external change, they must be delivered.

Inspired by Nigel Farage's reversal on the £350 million a week promise for the NHS, the day after the Brexit vote.
