Make It A Criminal Offence To Fail To Uphold Policy Pledges
To ensure our votes matter, we must have a way of holding politicians personally responsible for enacting the policies we vote for. We therefore need a more robust system that holds our politicians legally accountable to their statements.
Failing to carry out the wishes of the electorate should be a criminal offence. Regardless of your political orientation, by signing this petition you will help reinforce everybody's democratic right and ensure that the policies you vote in are seen through.
We, the undersigned, propose that government pass legislation requiring politicians to keep promises made during campaigns, and provide the voting public with the means to prosecute individuals when these promises are broken.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
