Rejected petition Bring in laws to stop politicians lying in their manifesto

Parliament should make manifesto honesty legally binding, create an independent regulator to fact-check promises, require transparent costings, and hold politicians accountable for false claims or broken pledges to restore trust and integrity in politics.

More details

Politicians lying in manifestos misleads voters and weakens democracy. I want the Government and Parliament to act so promises are honest, transparent, and accountable, restoring public trust and integrity in politics.
