Debar from political office anyone who lies about matters of national importance

Petition Details

Politicians who knowingly misled the public about matters of national importance have damaged our country. Some have served in Cabinet and are now mooted as candidates for Prime Minister. An independent committee should scrutinise the integrity of anyone wishing to serve in these roles.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure if you're concerned about all political offices or only Cabinet positions. We're also not sure whether you're concerned about all "matters of national importance", and how they'd be defined, or about politicians' integrity more broadly.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
