Politicians must sign The Leadership Oath to never do harm or lie

Petition Details

Politicians that misrepresent truth for self-serving ambition must be held accountable. The Leadership Oath will be for politicians, business leaders and any other leaders in civil society to demonstrate their first rule principle - to lead from a position of responsibility to all stakeholders.

Additional Information

The Leadership Oath should be the political and business equivalent of The Hippocratic Oath.

The Hippocratic Oath dates back 2500 years and is considered a rite of passage for medical professionals before they practice. The Oath can be summarised as to 'First do no harm'.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear exactly what oath you would like politicians to sign, nor which politicians you would like to be subject to this requirement (for example, whether it is just for MPs or also for local councillors, members of devolved assemblies, people standing for elected office, and so on.)
