What's Die PARTEI's policy on open government? I had a quick look but I couldn't see anything on http://die-partei.de.

I do not know but it is The Party founded by comedians. Maybe The Onion gives you a clue. Australia may be a country of migrants speaking many languages but soundly rooted in the Anglo-Saxon past. With a London-born, Oxford "educated" comedian as a PM restoring his kingdom with Dames and Knights and a proper General here and there and all other bells and whistles you need if you want to sing an Empire Song. His re-enactment show of Thatcherism needs some improvements. Under her they closed the coal mines. Fortunately I do not have to translate that, it's from America: "The Saudi Arabia of the South Pacific" - http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/09/australia_s_en... No wonder we are having debates about burqas in parliament. What actually happened to The Budget? Or talking about transparency in Victoria: Has someone seen the East West Link business case lately? Or found the second river crossing? Regards Peter
