Stop sitting MP's from using media platforms to stealth influence the electorate

Stop sitting MP's from using media platforms to stealth influence the electorate — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

It appears that some MPs, are paid to, and profit from media airtime, during which they present a completely biased and often misleading narrative in order to influence the public; a blatant, yet somehow apparently 'permissable' method by which these people are influencing our democracy. ENOUGH!

Additional details

We cannot allow media companies and politicians to do this to our democracy. This is not in the public interests, this is free reign to spread divisive and misleading propaganda.
