Place a legal obligation on politicians to deliver campaign promises.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Farage 350 Law.
Campaign promises are often quickly discarded. The public has little faith in promises made. We have a right to hold politicians to their word. Campaign promises must be registered, costed, deliverable. Barring exceptional external change, they must be delivered.
Inspired by Nigel Farage's reversal on the £350 million a week promise for the NHS, the day after the Brexit vote.
