Rejected petition MPs Oath. Introduce sworn testimony to tell the truth when MPs take their seat

Parliament has lost the trust of the electorate due to MPs twisting facts & blatantly lying.
If MPs had to swear an oath to tell the truth as in a court of law and risked being prosecuted for perjury, they would be more careful to tell the truth & this would restore confidence in parliament
