If all privacy is forgone the politicians privacy would be dropped too. While this is of course difficult to enforce (something like Google Glasses that constantly stream? Or even implants?) it would create a society devoid of hidden intentions. Crime would be easily solved as well, and politics would be completely transparent.

I am twisted on this issue, but it is definitely an interesting viewpoint to consider.

In practice, politicians will be exempt 'for security reasons'.

Looks like a classic case of weirdtopia [1] to me.

Like hell it would. People would still find a way to deal in secret.
