Make political party manifestos a legally binding contract.

Petition Details

Political manifestos are used to encourage voters to vote based on what is deemed to be a priority. These are always based on promises that they will break. It's about time that manifestos were made a legally binding contract, so that courts could intervene and fine the party.
