The pressure out of public gaze is always there. You know when it has been applied effectively because promises are pushed to one side and justification is usually full of holes.

The pressure is a powerful mix, comply of be moved out of the way.
All politicians are vulnerable and the means used are without limit.

I don’t believe that the real reasons for this thing to have been signed is in the public arena at all. There’s something else going on that might have little to do with trade. The most optimistic benefit analysis is well within the margin of error…. I wonder what’s really going on.
