Rejected petition Stop elected representatives from lying in Parliament and in election campaigns
Rejected on
The UK public have had enough of our politicians lying to us. They lie and deliberately mislead us to get elected and for their own gain.
Make it an offense for an elected representative to knowingly lie in Parliament/other elected body or to lie to voters during an election campaign.
