As our government becomes more and more polarized, what can we do to ensure that facts and data hold out?
I’m not suggesting that lying should be illegal (in fact, it’s often unintentional), but when an MPs statement can later be proven to be false, shouldn’t they be forced to publicly apologize?
The truth shouldn’t be political.
It’s up to voters to hold politicians to account on this, but voters don’t and so why would they care about any other system that does.
If a politician says climate change is fake and they agree it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, they’ll just accuse the moderator of bias.
