In our review of misleading ads in the local, mayoral, Scottish and Welsh parliamentary elections that took place on Thursday last we demonstrated the problem is as acute as ever. We found there is widespread abuse across most of the main parties due to the lack of regulation for electoral advertising content. We’ve highlighted some of the most notable examples of misleading ads in the review, which you can read on our website www.reformpoliticaladvertising.org
However, the tide is beginning to turn: last year the House of Lords Democracy and Digital Technology Committee (that we gave evidence to) recommended regulation. In addition The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has said it is ready to help.
We also had 6 London Mayor candidates and 4 national parties (including the Green Party and Liberal Democrats) support a pledge for factual accuracy in their advertising over the last month.
The UK public are as fed up as we are about the current state of affairs as you are. In our YouGov research we found 9/10 of the public agree that it is important “that political parties’ adverts do not make false or misleading claims.”
