It worked almost like that in the USA with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Text of the TPP <i>totally</i> kept secret, even from the US Senate and House. Before our &quot;representatives&quot; got a chance to read the treaty, someone forced a vote on trade authority. Now, there&#x27;s a short period to read a long treaty, which is being changed by the &quot;legal scrub&quot; process, and there&#x27;s <i>one</i> opportunity to vote on it, no debate on the provisions, very little debate overall. In short, TPP is getting rammed through in the USA. All objections are getting overridden, hard.
