I'm seeing this mentioned a lot in my social media feeds and through emails from organisations like 38 Degrees. I don't know an awful lot about it other than the headline that it will give corporations more power, for instance to be able to sue governments who affect their profits by (for instance) raising the minimum wage. That's just a headline though, from a group opposing the partnership.

So, whilst rummaging around for more information on the partnership I thought that as UKC encompasses a broad political spectrum, I'd ask on here what people consider good and bad about it.

Anyone?

In reply to Tall Clare:

Since the discussions are confidential it´s hard to see how anyone can have an informed view.
Suffice it to say that it will benefit some and not others since there is no such thing as a free ride.
