Hold politicians to account for knowingly lying to or misleading the public

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

It has come to light following the recent EU referendum that the leaders of the Brexit campaign knowingly lied on matters that influenced the final outcome of the vote - particularly immigration & the redistribution of funding to the NHS. They should be held to account for this.

In other professions people would be dismissed from their jobs and removed from professional bodies for similar practice.

We should be able to trust our elected officials and if we can't, then they should be removed from their position of power.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
