Closed Create a statutory body for the regulation of political advertising

Closed on

Recent years have seen a rise in concerns about false & misleading advertising by political parties & campaign groups. At present non-broadcast political advertising is largely unregulated and not subject to official scrutiny.

We wish parliament to establish an independent regulator to police this advertising.

We believe that establishing an independent statutory regulator to police political advertising would raise standards by preventing false and misleading political advertising by political parties and campaign groups in the future thereby increasing public confidence in our democracy.
