Public trust in democracy depends on honesty and accountability. When MPs make misleading statements, it distorts policy debates and erodes confidence in government. Currently, there is no effective statutory system to hold MPs accountable for false claims. Introducing evidence-based sanctions will ensure transparency, protect democratic integrity, and prevent misinformation from influencing decisions that affect everyone.
