Naturally, openess, especially in politics is an admirable thing; especially after witnessing a government that tried to cover everything possible for the sole purpose to tunnel their financial profits for their own benefit.
When reading this morning's headlines, where Mr Sulík vowed that his SaS party will not give up Facebook, not even during parliament sessions, initially it looked like a joke. No so. Indeed Mr Sulík's opinion is, that teh party "is not forgetting its voters" or that public has the right to be informed.
It can be argued, that informing your constituents is a noble resolve, but in all seriousness; twittering and facebooking during parliament sessions, looks to me like a bunch of teenage school-kids, who are bored during maths class.
Being a representative of your people is a serious task, which - and especially - during legislative processes is not to be devalued by activities like chit-chatting with your people. When doing so after the hearings or during the weekend, it's fine with me. Taken into consideration, that people in companies got fired because of surfing the internet during work hours, this is equally questionable.
Seems, we have another naiveté of dear Richard Sulík.
