Of course it would be negotiated in secrecy. How else do you expect something to get done? Every political player will get facts out of context and make his rhetoric out of it, sprinkling emotions and indignation to rally up clueless people, in order to build up his image or get a political favor. Now imagine this happening in every country and mass media amplifying it.
Negotiators would have NO room to negotiate. Parliaments have to ratify and have appropriate time to get themselves familiar with the matter. Stop drinking the kool aid.
So basically, you are for sacrificing democracy on the altar of secrecy. "Clueless people" are always dangerous. And "every political player" can "rally them up". Yes! That's how it should be! People must be informed and have rights to organize and protest for or against something. All fan-boys of diverse trade agreements have only one thing to defend: Secrecy. (And, for the sanity of the discussion, throw out such words as "drinking the kool-aid")
Maybe we the citizens are just plain stupid to understand so we need to be persuaded: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140620/14292827638/us-em...
(Just like we were for Iraq war)

You want you and your children and grandchildren to live in it?
If TTIP is SOOOO great why secrecy, why so many people who don't have financial interest in it are against it?
I could write a lot about it...
