Make it a criminal offence for politicians to lie to the general public.

Petition Details

To lie to the public to swing a vote a certain way removes our right to give informed consent and give a democratically correct decision. We have a right to know what we are voting for and any attempt to cloud the judgement of the public is an attack on our democracy itself.

Additional Information

Politician are there to protect our democracy and represent us. It is time they implement law which stops them taking advantage of the system for their own agendas.

People voted for £350 Million a week for the NHS as promised by Farage & Johnson. Tax payers money was used to spread this lie all over the country and when the result came it was declared a "mistake".The people of the UK deserve more than just an apology, the people want justice and it is time these people were held accountable
