Freedom Of Information

Agree

Yes

The ideology of Freedom of Information generally supports transparency and accountability in government. Extending the ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists to 5 years could potentially reduce conflicts of interest and increase public trust in governmental processes. However, it may not directly align with the core principle of free information flow, as it restricts former officials' employment opportunities.

Agree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

A lifetime ban on lobbying for White House and Congressional officials could significantly reduce potential conflicts of interest and promote government integrity, aligning with the Freedom of Information's goals of transparency and accountability. However, it might be seen as overly restrictive on individual career freedoms, hence the moderate score.

Slightly agree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

Banning all forms of lobbying could be seen as too extreme from a Freedom of Information perspective, as lobbying can be a form of information exchange between the public sector and private entities. However, the ideology would likely appreciate the intent behind the proposal to reduce corruption and increase transparency.

Disagree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

While the current two-year ban exists to prevent immediate conflicts of interest, from a Freedom of Information standpoint, extending this period could further enhance transparency and reduce potential for undue influence. Thus, the ideology might slightly disagree with the notion that the current duration is sufficient.

Disagree

No

From a Freedom of Information perspective, allowing immediate transition of government officials to lobbying positions could undermine public trust and transparency, as it may lead to potential conflicts of interest and the perception of a 'revolving door' between government and private sectors. Therefore, this stance might be less supported.
