I've often thought that apart from the very fewest national security issues all government should be conducted in the open: all cabinet meetings should be public, all political areas should be monitored and the results available to all, and all private political discussion between politicians should be banned on pain of imprisonment. If they've nothing to hide they've nothing to fear, right?
- dageshi 9y agoI'm guessing nobody at all would want to be a politician under those circumstances.
- snakeboy 9y agoThe problem I see with that proposal is that it would entirely eliminate the ability of Congress to compromise on anything, for fear of a video going viral showing them ceding ground on contentious issues and being used against them next election.
- nsgi 9y agoA lot of politicians are close friends. Some are even married to eachother. How is it practical to stop them discussing politics privately?
- warrenm 9y ago> all private political discussion between politicians should be banned on pain of imprisonment Is that a public event, too? Who gets to enforce the public-vs-private thing?
