Would mandatory divestment and independent reinvestment remove the perception and simplify compliance?
The issue with the blind trust is that.... Let's take, for example, a prime minister who would have the Clerk of the Privy Council, which is a political appointment, and their chief of staff, which is a political appointment, as the overseers of that blind trust, and there's no public indication of when that screen has been used. There wouldn't be a need for a screen if the funds were simply divested and then reinvested by an expert financial manager.
