Petition Action

Politicians who make up stats should be severely punished.

Petition Details

Politicians who are caught lying or making up data and manipulate the public with it in order to gain support should be appropriately punished by the court depending on how serious the situation is.

Additional Information

An example of this is after the EU referendum Nigel Farage admitted that the data and stats he gave to the public was incorrect and that he lied, of course these were not his exact words but we know what he means. He was not punished in any way. The crime he committed was manipulating the public and effectively rigging the election and deserves to have his status wiped and be brought to justice. This applies to all politicians who lie with any stats or data.
