Petition Action

Makes it an offence for a Minister or Member of Parliament to deliberately lie.

Petition Details

Statements by advertisers are required to be Legal, Decent, Honest and Truthful. We think that public statements by Ministers and MPs should be held to the same standards.

Additional Information

Many political messages use methods of persuasion that are not based on facts or evidence. These methods are derived from marketing and advertising, and should be held to the same standards.
