apparently that's no longer a guarantee of democracy and justice any more.
i live in new zealand, where we have ombudsmen who operate independently of the government and the executive. they are charged with three roles: investigating maladminitration, protecting freedom of information and advising and protecting whistle blowers, a responsibility granted to them by the protected disclosures act.
these ombudsmen will help you deal with unreasonable actions and decisions made by government departments and accessing official documents, and protect your interests if you're a whistleblower.
if we can have a transparent, accountable government so can you.
