15.10.2009 // by Guy AitchisonJeremy: One of the least-commented on but most pernicious aspects of our current system is the ability of government legally to hide its contractual and other relations with the private sector under a cloak of "commercial confidentiality". This pernicious concept bars the public from scrutinizing much of what government does. It is fundamentally undemocratic, and it fails to recognize that the people - not the government - are the "other" party to public/private arrangements. All commercial arrangements negotiated by government on our behalf should be open to public view so that we, the people, can exercise what should be a democratic right to know what is being done and spent on our behalf - and to judge our politicians on that basis.
