Seem to have a bee in my bonnet regarding petitions these days...oh well.
Ok, Politically we on this forum are all as different in our opinions as anywhere else, what I feel is right others wont and vice versa and thats just fine.
What I feel isnt fine is our politicians of all persuasions doing just what they want via the means of deception, misdirection or plain good old lies without any comeback for the damages they invariably do.
Id like to hold them to account via the criminal justice system rather than simply voting them out of office to be replaced with yet more of the same next time around, hence my petition.
Have a nosey at it, hope youll all sign it and pass it around.
My petition and the actual text:
"Enact a law making deception and lying by politicians a criminal offence.
Politicians hold a priviliged position that has the potential to create damage to the welfare of the country and its populace when personal or party agendas take precedence. Using deceit, lies or misdirection to pass legislation or support a position is unacceptable and must stop.
No action is ever taken against politicians whose actions while in government damages the country physically, socially or financially. Basically politicians make it up as they go along, experimenting with aspects they dont grasp or have a personal axe to grind in doing so, example, Tony Blair and the unwritten mass immigration policy, David Camerons Lisbon Treaty referendum promise. Politicians need to be financially and personally accountable to the public, we need a law to hold them to."
