Ballot papers must show MPs links to organisations which may impede impartiality
All connections of candidates to lobbying organisations or other
recognised political influencing groups must be printed on ballot papers. Unacknowledged global groups are having a pernicious influence on leaders in many countries and this influence is growing. We need clarity and honesty.
We have to stop citizens being intentionally misled into voting for candidates whose loyalty isn't the party or the electorate. Without voters knowing candidates true agenda, how can we have an informed view when the most important affiliations are missing. Voters need those seeking election to have their influences displayed on the ballot papers, allowing the people to make more a informed choice. Candidates untainted by such pernicious connections should have more trust from the people.
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:
We understand you're concerned about the information provided, or omitted, from ballot papers, however it's not clear what forms of 'connection' you want to be required to be declared, nor which organisations would be covered by this requirement.
You could have a petition calling for a requirement that every candidate's paid roles are declared on ballot papers for general elections, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
