Remember Bojo. The court literally pointed out that parliament had passed no law banning lies to the public.

And without a good several million votes clearly at risk no parliament is likely to do so.

But at the end of it. Parliament is required to pass such a law for the courts to have any say. Even then it would only apply to speech outside parliament itself. Parliament is in charge of anything said during parliament.

Maybe a hierarchical political system requires lying to exist. Humans don’t tend to accept hierarchies otherwise.

(My conclusion is fuck hierarchical systems obviously, not trying to say lying is a “necessary evil”)
