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.

    Uh, in every other field of discourse the ultimate arbiter of the truth is a judge. Why should politics be any different?

      My last line

      We aren’t immune to immoral judges, having a judge that can make your opponent side with you is very valuable
