Make MPs & political leaders legally responsible for their electoral promises
Just as in commercial concerns and contractual law, people who make promises with no intention of honouring them are tried for fraud. In that election results change the fate of so many people, similar laws should govern electoral promises and the people who make them should be held accountable.
It has become standard practice to commit electoral fraud by making promises then 'disowning' them after winning _ THIS MUST STOP
Example 1 _ Conservative party deletes archive of speeches from internet _ http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/nov/13/conservative-party-archive-speeches-internet
Example 2 _ Brexit: Vote Leave wipes website of promises _ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-vote-leave-wipes-nhs-350m-claim-and-rest-of-its-website-after-eu-referendum-a7105546.html
