    Politicians should get a pay raise. Under the agreement their actions, movements and motivations as well as how they use their money is largely public information.

    If it is found out you hid or lied about any of that. Prison time and removal from office as well as handing that office to a 3rd party candidate from one of the other established political parties.

      It should be ENTIRELY public info. If you are going to be handed the power to inflict your views on an entire constituency, you lose the right to hide anything you do. There can be no place to hide malfeasance or they will use it. If they are unwilling to sacrifice their privacy, they can stay home. They are not being forced to seek public office.

        100% any argument for privacy can lick my privacy. The least private citizens should be the ones leading. I think there should be less legal protections for these individuals. They have shown those positions cannot be trusted
