I'm not sure - I think there's certainly an interesting truth that people act differently when you remove the pressures of public scrutiny. In particular - they are much less likely to always blindly follow party lines, or corporate wishes, and I think there's value there. How would you feel about a tweaked system? All votes are recorded, but the voting record is entirely withheld until 3 months before the next election for that seat. The public is made aware of the voting record when it matters: During the next election. But during the term, they are much less susceptible to corporate donors and lobbyists, or pressure from members of their own party.

>In particular - they are much less likely to always blindly follow party lines, or corporate wishes, and I think there's value there. I want the politician I vote for to more or less follow the party line on important votes. That's why I voted for her.

  Personally - I think that's a shortsighted and naive approach. The "party" is not your friend. Politics are not team sports, and they shouldn't be treated that way. I also think this leads to a preponderance of "division" politics - where the goal is to find a wedge issue that forces people to pick a side. It's poor governance all around.
