There's nothing wrong with negotiating in secret. I'm not convinced it could be done any other way. At some point, though, it needs to be ratified in some democratic manner, without secret clauses or gentleman's agreements.
- gtf21 11y agobut it's not just negotiated in secret. There have been voted in the EU on documents that are classified. In the US, for example, a member of Congress could go to prison for revealing the contents to a constituent, even over things like ISDS provisions which could be massively damaging to democratic integrity.
