I find the NDAs to be a bit of a red herring. The real point is what kinds of information must lawmakers be open about? The NDAs don't really matter here because if they restrict information you are legally entitled to, I don't see how they are enforceable. I mean what if there isn't any NDA, but the politician simply refuses to say what's happening. If citizens don't have any positive right to that information, what's the essential difference? You could vote the politician out later, but you could do the same for anyone signing the NDA as well. So really I think the focus should be more on forcing politicians to be more open with their actions and for this to have the force of law. Then the NDAs become irrelevant. Of course this is an uphill battle since the laws probably need to be passed by the very people who are running the system, but I don't really see how that's avoidable outside of jurisdictions with forms of direct citizen initiatives.
