Rid politics of lies and lying politicians.
The pre general election and leadership of Labour Party campaigns brought to light yet again the lies and play on words that go on in politics today. We cannot as people put up with this any longer. It has too much a big an impact on too many lives.
It is asking me to give plenty of references and background information for this petition but you the people will have plenty of those.
We cannot put up with the lies that go on in politics and just keep shrugging our shoulders because it's become the norm.
Politicians that gain positions of power by lies in particular shouldn't be allowed to continue in that position.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The conduct of general election campaigns, and party leadership elections, are the responsibility of political parties.
There are already certain laws against lies, such as slander or libel. The public make their own judgment on the truth or otherwise of MPs' positions when they case their vote in elections.
