Rejected petition Criminalise lie telling by politicians in order to encourage voters

The EU referendum has shown in sharp relief that lies, untruths and completely fabricated facts and numbers have been 'sold' to the public in order to garner votes.
Many of these have been withdrawn, revised or simply denied as soon at voting was over and now we face the reality.
Never again!
