Can I congratulate Mr Pickles for his robust defence of david Cameron, Mrs Osborne and Ms Dorres over the past days. His questions and observations against Gordon Brown were a total revelation to us all. He showed us all what a party Chairman is there for!

If the BNP get 20% or more of the vote in the euros, what will be your reaction?

No, seriously, I'd like to know what he thinks of the massive disconnect between the political class and the rest of us. We no longer have a functioning democracy, and he and his colleagues in the HoC are most of the problem. And Eric, if you can't see it, that doesn't mean it does not exist, it means you are in denial.

Really seriously, what Labour laws will you repeal if you win?

More and more people are thinking of voting BNP , not because they believe in it but because they are hacked off by liebour and the liberals red carpet treatment to ilegal immigrants and the governments disdain of the natives.

What say you, Eric ?

I've a question for him. What total mismatch of self-image and reality made a pathetic twerp like you think that there was any way in which you were fitted to play a part in the government of this country? Where do we get these people? Talk about lions led by donkeys.

Here's a pickle indeed. There are just five questions even counting my three. Go with what's here, or think of another five?

These are not often successful enterprises, because the tories you rope in always(almost)treat us like dummies and give anodyne or evasive answers. It would seem a shame to abandon the attempt though. What to do to make it work better?

It's not just the Tories. This is the accepted MO of the entire political class. "Tell the electorate nothing; they wouldn't understand it anyway. And they might try to stop us."

What has David Cameron told us of the Tories' plans other than the anodyne platitudes to which you refer? When was the last time a British politician offered the British electorate red meat?
