Rejected petition If a 'truth serum' exists, insist all those in and running for office, take it.

The level of lying and dishonesty in our political discourse has reached an unacceptable level. We expect more of our elected representatives and those that work closely with them. We deserve honesty from politicians and senior officials, and would have a stronger country if they were always honest.

More details

If a truth serum exists, we should expect our politicians to have no concerns with taking it, to confirm their views are true and in the best interest of the country.
