The idea of government accountability and transparency is catching on beyond the U.S. borders.
The article (see link below) describes initiatives by the UK government to engage public in the policy-making process. Doing so, the article claims, would engage public with government in a democratic fashion which aims to reduce bureaucracy and promote civil liberty. The UK government has launched a site called “Your Freedom.” The purpose of this site is to promote dialogues between public and government and assess, from policy-making respective, areas where policies need to be examined and implemented.
I like this article because it tells us about the government initiatives across the globe to become more transparent and accountable for their actions. It seems public access to government is destined to become an entitlement as a part of democracy.
