Background

We think Parliament should introduce penalties on deception by MPs, regardless of party, to protect UK citizens.

Additional details

We think this is crucial for the government to maintain the public's trust. We think that when politicians mislead the public it undermines the very foundation of democracy. We think citizens deserve transparency and honesty from their representatives. We think misconduct by MPs, no matter the party, needs to be investigated and held accountable in some way.
