Rejected petition Make it acceptable etiquette to call out lies told by members of Parliament.

It should be acceptable etiquette in the parliament to expose lies or misleading statements made by other members of Parliament as long as it can be backed up by fact checks.

More details

The etiquette is absolutely outdated especially in the age of social media, 24 hour rolling news, proven influence of data mining and fake news. Facts and truth are treated with contempt and good political debate has been overshadowed by soundbites.
