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 not an admission of intent, but an admission of fact: that your statement was false.
It became false once more data became available.. How do you deal with that, when you need to deal with a situation with partial information?
It's not like they meant to lie about it, then had to make a decision and you can't always make the right choice when you're missing data.
