A ban on politicians lying will be brought in before the 2026 Senedd [the Welsh parliament] elections, the Welsh government has promised.

Counsel General Mick Antoniw [...] promised that the law would disqualify Senedd politicians and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception from being a Member of the Senedd (MS). [...] It is not yet clear whether the proposed law would make lying a criminal offence or a civil sanction. [...] Mr. Antoniw said it was a "matter that goes to the heart of everyone".

Welsh: We need to make sure our politicians are pure to the people, and to their government.

America: The president can do no wrong, and cannot be held accountable for any wrong doing. Suck it, citizens! Suck our corporate bribed dicks!
