Establish a Political Standards Board to combat misleading political campaigns
Rejected

What the petition asks
Brexit campaigns misled what exiting the EU could mean for the UK: indications the NHS would receive £350m additional funding or that immigration would reduce whilst also indicating an entry to the single market. Politicians have a responsibility to convey accurate information to the public.
