Rejected petition All MPs have to swear an oath of truth and face imprisonment if caught lying

All MPs, when entering into public politics, have to swear an oath of absolute truth.
If they are found to be lying, at any point in thier career, they will face a criminal conviction.
We believe this will make for a less corrupt Britain.
