What has the government got to hide?

I have just read an excellent article by Ian Dunt at www.politics.co.uk.

He highlights how the politicians have been taking away more and more of our liberties and privacy whilst working very hard to keep their activities secret.

He finishes with some good advice - to get the Tories to pin their colours to the mast and specify what they will do if/when they get into power next year, so far they have made some encouraging noises and general promises but nothing concrete. I don't think we can trust any party to have our best interests at heart over their own so we need concrete committments, we are not prepared to trust vague promises that can be forgotten all too easily.
