Rejected petition Politicians in the United Kingdom should be held accountable for lies they tell.
Rejected on
Based on the current political climate there are many politicians who are knowingly (or unknowlingly) telling lies and 'mistruths' to the UK population. Whilst in industry this is punished directly, and often through parliament, it seems our politicians are allowed to say anything they want.
