Make a criminal offence of Electoral Fraud
During the referendum campaign both sides relied heavily on lies , misinformation and scaremongering. This proposal would make it an offence to use lies and misinformation in an election campaign. It would also apply retroactively to assurances given to the electorate that were then reneged upon.
