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”.
At the next day… there were no politicians left. 😁
This law has a secret benefit. In case of an AI takeover of the politician system. We can just say to the people suspected of being AI’s that “this sentence is wrong”, they will start combusting right there.
