The negotiations do not need to be public - as noted elsewhere opening them up would also come with a cost. International agreements like this are often negotiated behind closed doors. What is a problem, is we can be sure that once the negotiations are complete and the agreement brought before the legislature for approval (essentially a rubber stamp as we already know), there will be very little time for debate and public comment before this shit sandwich is rammed down our throats. That's the really undemocratic part. With that in mind these leaks are a great thing and entirely appropriate
