I love transparency
I wouldn't. The whole political system would grind to a halt. Most political proceeding are public. But politicians really do need to be able to negotiate compromises in private.
I disagree. I am sure politicians could learn to negotiate in public. It wouldn't be hard to try. It could easily be tried on a local level....say a city council.....Without doing too much damage to the nation if indeed it is a bad idea as you suggest.
Now there are certain things that would need to be private....for national security. But day to day stuff. Those negotiations should be out in the open.
