Rejected petition Make it an offence in Wales for politicians to lie or mislead the public.

Wales should make it an offence for any serving MS or MP or council member to lie or mislead the public on any subject.

Any politician in Wales caught to be lying or misleading the public should be fined and even removed from their position.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Welsh Government cannot create a criminal offence, nor could it apply to MPs.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
