Make lying for votes illegal, with penalties and new elections
Make it illegal for parties or candidates to win votes through lies and false promises, with penalties, disqualification, and a general election called. Public servants must be accountable to protect democracy and restore trust.
Public trust in politics is collapsing. The Government’s response to petition 119416 relied on voluntary integrity, not enforceable rules. Parties break promises, like Labour’s pledge of no tax rises, leaving people fearful and trapped in a living-to-work cycle. Hardworking citizens are punished while others gain unfairly. Laws are needed to ensure honesty, accountability, and fairness.
