Background

This assessment should take into account economic conditions, national emergencies, legal constraints, and other exceptional circumstances, and should be supported by transparent reporting to Parliament
Politicians win elections on promises, but far too often, once in power, those promises are abandoned.
Election promises should mean something
It’s time to restore trust in our democracy.
Additionally, all politicians should undergo enhanced CRB checks to ensure those in power are properly vetted
