I don't know of any country with fully open governance.

There are always decisions or information which is kept secret/illegal to publish.

And which parts of that governance can be kept secret should be subject to continuous review. Openness must be carefully guarded.

"Fully open" is a strawman. These are not names of MI5 agents, or a list of active police investigations. This is a massive breach of privacy of every UK citizen, and forced recruitment of every company into a government informant, forcing them to lie to their users that they're being given privacy, whilst informing on them.

It is trying to keep the existence of the Stasi a secret.

    I'd be willing to bet if the government had to pick between publishing the list of all spies names Vs having backdoor access to all Comms, they'd pick having the backdoor access.
