    Personally I think it should be a requirement to be vetted by a country’s intelligence service in order to run for office.

    I am not saying that you cannot run or be voted in. You can run no matter what.

    I do think that the results of your screening should be public. Not the details, more just the thumbs up or down.

    People need to know the danger you are in.

      I’ve had to get a criminal background check for most jobs I’ve ever had, a check that my employer gets to see before they decicde to hire me.

      Only seems fair that people running for office have something similar.
