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”.
Welsh: We need to make sure our politicians are pure to the people, and to their government.
America: The president can do no wrong, and cannot be held accountable for any wrong doing. Suck it, citizens! Suck our corporate bribed dicks!
Something tells me Welsh politics is going to get a lot more dog whistle-ey.
