No, laws should be in place that make this illegal. I want every speech a candidate gives to be under oath and punishable by being banned from holding office.
We have a first amendment. It protects speech. “Laws” against what can and cannot be said in public is not a slippery slope I want to go down, regardless if the person is a lying sack of shit.
As already stated, the voters are supposed to hold these lying sacks of shit accountable by voting out said lying sacks of shit. I think this problem gets dealt with in abolishing first past the pole voting systems.
I am not a lawyer and do not know legal law, but I do know that a verbal contracts are legally binding and do not impede upon free speech. This would be a case similar to that. They want to say they will do everything to get something done, I want to see them immediately removed from office for doing shit that counters it.
My point does not in any way interact with FPTP and is not an instead of. All I’m saying is we should legally define what promises you can make on the campaign and hold people accountable for lying to constitutents.
