Introduce legislation to criminalise false/misleading information in UK politics
The general public of the United Kingdom have been victim to a continuing pattern of false and/or misleading information perpetrated by UK politicians. The existing Code of Conduct ('CSPL') is proven to fail to protect the interests of the public and we now call for meaningful change and enforcement
The Committee on Standards in Public Life ('CSPL') is a Code of Conduct that focuses on seven principles. The CSPL fundamentally lacks appropriate enforcement in ensuring the protection of public interest and fairness.
It is proven to be ineffective; in some cases ignored entirely. The CSPL must be replaced or strengthened by new, robust legislation that will implicate and punish any UK politician that knowingly and/or purposefully misleads the public for unethical personal or political gain.
