Lying in politics has become normalised. That’s why we’re fighting to ban it—and why Neal Lawson, of the campaign group Compass, has written a must-read article on how this one reform could transform our democracy.

In “A Simple Ban on Political Lying Could Radically Transform Our Politics,” Neal lays out a clear and compelling case: if politicians were legally required to tell the truth, public debate would improve, trust in politics could be restored, and debates around bold reforms—like proportional representation and a four-day working week—would finally become possible.

Trump’s first few weeks in office have shown what happens when political misinformation runs rampant. It provides the gateway for prejudice and hate. We need to make sure the same thing can’t happen here in the UK and so we need to put up proper guard rails while we still can. 

Creating a law against political deception is a vital first step to protecting our democracy.

This idea isn’t just theoretical. Wales is already moving to ban political lying, and with over 200,000 people backing our petition, we have a real chance to bring this to Westminster.

But we need your help to keep pushing.
