Petition Hold MPs accountable for misleading statements and apply sanctions
Introduce a statutory mechanism to investigate and sanction MPs who make demonstrably false or misleading statements in Parliament or public communications. This should include an independent body empowered to review evidence, issue corrections, and apply proportionate penalties.
More details
Public trust in democracy depends on honesty and accountability. When MPs make misleading statements, it distorts policy debates and erodes confidence in government. Currently, there is no effective statutory system to hold MPs accountable for false claims. Introducing evidence-based sanctions will ensure transparency, protect democratic integrity, and prevent misinformation from influencing decisions that affect everyone.
