Rejected petition Make lying and prevarication by Politicians punishable by Law.
The shambles that is Brexit, the horrendous state of the NHS and many other issues currently facing this country are due in a large part to the inability of our Politicians (of all sides) to be honest with the people they serve.
Lying and prevarication in interviews and so on should be punished.
