Rejected petition Fine MPs £1000 who do not give straight yes/no answers in interviews

More details

Politicians say they are honest. Let's make them put their money where their mouth is: Make it law for public servants to answer all questions requiring a simple yes or no answer with precisely that. Failure to do so will incur a £1000 fine per instance. I think this will make Britain a much more honest place.
