Open Records
Publish what can lawfully and responsibly be published.
Honest Politics aims to publish decisions, evidence, costings, reports, funding, changes and performance. Major decisions should receive full records, while smaller decisions should be recorded where proportionate and practical. Information should be withheld only where publication would breach privacy, security, legal duties, personal safety or fair process, and the broad reason should normally be stated.
Active records

Only real records are shown as active. Planned systems remain visibly gated.

Policy status
Current directions, development notes, territorial scope and review dates.
Open questions
The unresolved questions attached to policy areas and evidence routes.
Funding and present responsibility
The current funding model, relevant interests and who presently takes responsibility.
Gated records
Added only when genuine activity exists.
Prediction register
Will appear only when enough measurable predictions exist to make the record meaningful.
Independent scrutiny archive
Will appear after genuine external review has been completed and can be published responsibly.
Annual accountability report
