Require all individuals standing for public office to sign a legal declaration to say that if elected, they will carry out their duties with honesty and integrity and fulfil their promises to the electorate. Otherwise, I think they should be held criminally liable.

Make the government legally accountable for delivering its manifesto promises
1. Make manifestos legally binding once a party takes office; 2. Create an independent body or court process for public accountability; 3. Permit legal action when governments fail or neglect to deliver on their stated policies
Make an independent body to enforce elected politicians’ performance & behaviour
Create an independent body to monitor and enforce the performance and behaviour of elected politicians, and which has the power to take action when there are breaches or failures to act appropriately. We believe there have been many instances of corruption and failures not been acted upon.
Call a general election if a government breaks an election manifesto promise
We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation that would trigger an immediate general election if a governing party breaks a commitment set out in its election manifesto.
Politicians who lie should be barred from standing for election
Politicians who are proven to knowingly lie and mislead the electorate should not be allowed to stand for election again.
Hold MPs accountable for misleading statements and apply sanctions
Introduce a statutory mechanism to investigate and sanction MPs who make demonstrably false or misleading statements in Parliament or public communications. This should include an independent body empowered to review evidence, issue corrections, and apply proportionate penalties.
