Introduce "Contempt of Community" law

Introduce a law which would bar intentional lying during political debate and include the concept of contempt for community in a similar way to "contempt of court".

Why is this important?

The proliferation of cynical lies contained within the recent referendum debate from both sides of the argument has exacerbated the divisions and mistrust now held by our people. The subsequent admissions of the use of false information by some have the potential to depress voters and increase the feelings of the lack of integrity within our society. We all deserve a better attention to truth than is currently displayed.
