=== Call for open, truthful politics ===

Noting the fact that initial reporting of the Wuhan Coronavirus had been suppressed by local authorities, and commenting on recent treatment of journalists by the UK's Conservative government, the party issued a call "for open, truthful politics"<ref>[https://www.transhumanistparty.org.uk/transhumanist_party_calls_for_open_truthful_politics Transhumanist Party calls for open, truthful politics]</ref> :

<blockquote>
The Transhumanist Party in the UK reaffirms the principles of Evidence, Science, and Technology. As stated on the front page of the Party website, "All policy will as far as possible be evidence-based rather than ideology-based. Open sharing of information is paramount".

Alexander Karran, member of the Party’s National Executive, commented:

"In a world where false information flies at the speed of light around online media, it’s more important than ever that politicians respect principles of truthfulness and openness. If politics becomes a game which is won by whoever tells the most pernicious lies, we’ll all lose out."

Party Leader, David Wood, added:

"It’s not just variant new biological viruses that should worry all of us; variant new mental viruses can cause global chaos too, as they spread misinformation and confusion. We need to increase our watchfulness about both types of virus, and to address the circumstances that encourage their spread."
