Rejected petition Create an independent regulator to ensure truth in political advertising.

The false political advertisements in the EU Referendum caused many people to cast a vote for something that was not viable. Within hours of the Leave victory, promises on NHS spending and Immigration were hastily reworked. This has been the case in previous elections and is getting dangerous.

More details

The leave campaigns promise of Spending £350 million a week on the NHS was decreed as False and misleading by the Advertisment authority. This promise was a major point of many leave voters due to the chronic underfunding of the NHS by this Conservative Goverment
