Do we have a right to know everything about the private lives of our politicians?
)
May 6th, 2010
Since so much of the public and media discourse about politics seems to delve deeply into the private lives of politicians’ families and their relationships with others outside of their public life as political representatives, how much do we, the public, really need to know beyond their political beliefs and actions related to their jobs representing us?
Do politicians have the right to have their private lives respected and kept out of the public discussion in the media?
Do public servants forfeit all their privacy when they enter politics?
If those who enter politics forfeit their right to privacy, does this keep many high quality potential candidates from entering public service?
Does this undermine the best interests of the public?
