Make political campaigns subject to advertising standards.
Currently politicians can say anything in their campaigns.
Yes... ANYTHING.
If companies cannot mislead us to sell us cereal political parties should not be allowed to mislead us to gain power.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we are not sure whether you would like political advertising to be self-regulated, as commercial advertising is, or whether you would like the Government to set up a new body to regulate it.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
