Petition Handicapping System For Politicians
More details
We support the concept of transparency and honesty in government. Therefore, we petition for an amendment to electoral law to allow for any Government Minister, Shadow Minister or prospective opposition party senior spokesperson, appearing on any BBC current affairs programme, who does not answer a direct question related to their policies, decisions or predictions, to be docked 1,000 votes, per question, in any subsequent election in which they stand for parliament.
