Introduce new rules for party political campaign material

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

It is too often unclear if publications have been produced by a political party for campaign purposes, and this erodes trust. New rules should be introduced requiring party political material to be clearly and prominently marked with the name and logo of the party it is produced by or on behalf of.
Political parties of all colours should be required to be open and honest with their campaign material. The electorate shouldn't need to investigate whether material has been produced by a political party. We are now unfortunately living in a time where fake news is all around us. Should we really have to put up with it from our political parties too?
