Incidentally, if we are going to have global trade deals like TTIP and TPP, which roll in all sorts of domestic regulations in the name of a level playing field for global trade, I'd also like to see rules included which level the playing field for democratic governments, campaigners and ordinary citizens. For instance land ownership comes with liabilities, I can't see how it is possible for that to be enforceable if the land can be owned by a brass plate in the Cayman Islands. What reason is there, other than vested interests, not to include some sort of transparent ownership of property and assets in these international deals?
