Yes i suppose we could have a law drawn up but politicians have to approve the law so bit like turkeys voting for xmas. What other options are you proposing ???.

There's plenty we can do, we could hound them to such an extent that they wouldn't dare do it again, we could have every major statement fact checked by an independent body and if blatent dishonesty is apparent punish them, the inventors of democracy had an exceptional check and balance in place for when politicians lied to them, the offender had his house burnt down. Iirc it was Gideon who announced the time for banker bashing was over, well imo it never actually began and it's the same here, I don't understand why instead of being apoplectic we're happy to allow this sort of behaviour to go on unchallenged, to the extent we're turning on people who are cheesed of with it, they must be laughing themselves horse at the public at large
