That's just so bloody facetious. What I meant was that when a bill is presented to parliament it should be put up on a wiki, so the points can be clarified, debated, corrected and so on by the public and other interested parties before being voted on by MPs. It would be much better for this to be done "in camera" as it were, rather than behind closed doors by lobbyists. Whilst were are at it, every room in the Houses of Parliament should be on CCTV, transmitted online 24 hours a day. And Number 10. And all the Ministry's. It sickens me that they put up all those cameras to monitor us, and yet we can't monitor them back. The political process is transparent, but sadly it's a one-way mirror. - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
