Any MP found to have lied is to be charged and a custodial sentence maybe given

Petition Details

Make it illegal for a member of Parliament to lie to the public and make it law that they must tell the truth at all times as they are elected officials there to work for the public.

Additional Information

An MP must not be allowed to lie as this is purely for their own personal and party gain. When an MP lies this is similar to purgery.
