Create an independant regulatory watchdog to hold politicians to account.
Brexit has uncovered the dishonesty and unaccountability of politicians in Westminster. MPs need an independant regulatory watchdog to ensure that blatant lying without clear evidence or facts to back up their claims is no longer acceptable to the British public, or face criminal prosecution.
Whether you voted Leave or Remain, whether you are a Conservative, Labour, Green, SNP, UKIP, or Monster Raving Loony Party voter, I think we can all agree that this is long overdue.
As a young professional, I find the lack of accountability for wild claims made by MPs during the last three years absolutely disgraceful, and I am fed up of having my intelligence insulted by dishonest MPs on both sides of the House of Commons. This would be unacceptable in any other profession. This has to stop.
