Rejected petition Mandatory lie detector tests for MPs and politicians after speeches & TV debates
We the British public are sick of being lied to by the very people who claim to represent us. On the back of an immoral and dishonest campaign, 'pledges' were made to gain votes(which were negated on within hours of the result).
Clearly,a change is needed to bring honesty back into British politics
More details
When Athletes sign up to a professional body, the rules state that it's mandatory for a urine test is to be provided upon request to ensure there is no dishonesty in gaining an advantage over the competition.
The same should go for those running for positions of power.
That is why we propose that after any speech or TV debate, politicians & MPs should take a lie detector test with questions about their main points to ensure their honesty.
If they want our vote they should prove their intentions
