>legally defining political deception, and strengthening existing rules to explicitly ban misleading statements.
I'm all for this. No, it won't be perfect. Yes, it will sometimes be abused (e.g. against opponents). But this needs to be enshrined in law: politicians must be held to a higher set of moral standards while in office. Sometimes it feels like reality is the exact opposite: _every_ job requires this, _except_ politics.
