From Adam Price, the author of such a bill that looks poised to pass in the Welsh parliment :
“…what’s happened in sort of Trumpian America, is that all of politics, then, have suffered in terms of public credibility. People start to believe that all politicians are all the same; they’re all liars. And therefore, it has little effect on Trump’s approval rating because he’s kind of priced in this credibility gap, which has grown in politics.
That’s why we need to set this standard, in order to prevent that happening in democracies in the future and worldwide.”
