Tomorrow I’m interviewing David Cameron about the election for a blogging special in a magazine. We have already set most of the questions but is there anything you’d like to ask him? Let me know.

Would David Cameron consider removing the tax burden for families on lower incomes to alleviate the poverty trap they find themselves in? If he would, how would he do this?

What evidence does Mr Cameron have to back up the idea that 2:1 degrees or above will be able to change the many problems in education today? Why will he not address the issues surrounding discipline, poor leadership and incompetent LEAs?

What evidence does Mr Cameron have for the idea that holders of 2:1 degrees or above will resolve the myriad problems in education. Will he address the issues surrounding non-enforcement of discipline, incompetent LEAs and leadership and OFSTED’s unfitness with the same vigour?

Would he consider increasing the personal tax allowance for young people between the ages of 18 – 25 so that it encourages them to come off benefits and earn more by working? By the age of 25 they ought to be firmly fixed in the habit of working.

Conservative policy and announcements make a lot of comment about devolving power to Local Democracy. What evidence does he have that the ordinary person in the street (as opposed to activists and politicos) actually wants this?
Local democracy doesn’t really work, with the whole nonsense of ‘paper candidates’ and good people de-elected because of national Party swings. People would like to see a one-stop-shop for voting so that if they are unhappy with local services they can have their say at General Election time if the Govt is solely responsible. At present the various levels of local democracy blame each other and the relative party in control and also the national government. All very frustrating.
Then there is the issue of cost and huge amount of energy that good people put into it that could be more usefully engaged elsewhere. Complex subject but I am not convinced that the party hierarchy have really thought things through and certainly haven’t taken a peek ‘outside the box’.

Do you think that it should be illegal in the UK for the Catholic Church not to ordain women? Why is equality a higher value than freedom?

PS
Would you also tell the Catholic Church to modernise in the same way that you told the Church of England to do so?

Would he consider offering a yes/no referendum on remaining in Europe once the economic crises has subsided? He needs to be bold!

1) What will you do to promote British culture and identity?
2) What will you do to weaken support for Scottish independence?
3) What will you do to ensure all schools (including faith schools) teach British history and promote British identity?
4) Would you destroy morale in the Royal Navy by cutting the carrier programme which is vital for the navys future?
5) Should a life sentence for murder mean life in prison?

David Cameron has talked about making British poverty history. If he wins the election, will poverty go up or down over the next five years?

No specific question – just good luck!

Will CCHQ setup a rapid rebuttal unit in order to challenge false depictions of Conservative Policy in the media and by their opponents? The dice seem somewhat loaded against the Conservative Party in that respect. Time and again, falsehoods pass unchallenged by political interviewers so the party must respond strongly.
