Rejected petition Bring in accountability for politicians who do not follow election promises.

The people want the elected members to effect the change they promised and to not vary their agenda once elected to suit their needs not the electorates.

More details

We want the government to be open and honest. We don’t want to be told one thing whilst the opposite happens. Don’t imply policy then retract on every point. Don’t create laws that weren’t voted for without debate when the laws you promised aren’t anywhere to be seen. Be accountable.
