and New Zealand is here.
introduction
Christopher Hunter comments
in the 2001 Political Privacy and Online Politics:
How E-Campaigning Threatens Voter Privacy that
the
term "political privacy" would seem to be
an oxymoron. After all, politics is supposed to be a
fundamentally public activity. In a representational
democracy we demand that the political process be open
to public scrutiny and generally free from private,
particularistic, unseen, and unaccountable actions.
We therefore expect that votes by legislatures and courts
be public and that private citizens who seek to influence
the political process make known their interests (for
example through mandatory disclosure of campaign contributions).
