Re: Brexit
I think the problem is that 'lie' is very hard to concluseily prove and is in many cases subjective.
Did Nick Clegg lie about tuition fees? Well they said they would abolish them and instead raised them. Would seem pretty clear cut but then they were in coalition so does that still count? If a party promises a certain degree of spending then a recession hits was that a lie?
You can't start criminalising people based on subjective opinions of what constitutes a lie and if the person knew they are lying.
