Well if anyones being honest this is quite drastic (for example, even a dual citizen cannot participate), but one has to remember that the information these politicians needs to get has to be impartial and have no influence. While I know this is a terrible example because it's not a war, in a time of war would you hire people from the people you're fighting with/negotiating with to give you information?
I've seen tons of my friends argue for and against TTIP, and I just wonder the problems there about foreign influence in a trade deal isn't a problem?
They need academics to provide economic advice but it should be impartial right? Imagine 40 years down the line it comes out as 'hey that guy was actually an automotive lobbyist, but the laws set now'
