Any questions for Cameron?

David Ossitt

Mine is not a question; but a statement, please tell him that the people of England are demanding a referendum on the treaty.

If Ireland can have two; then do we not deserve our say?

Paul Danon

Would he renegotiate Lisbon if it were ratified?

Paul Danon

By how much should the state shrink?

Silent Hunter

Do you intend to implement your Doomsday Book scenario when you become PM?

I think the idea is sound and it is right that the public have a chance to see just how bad things are, backed up by the "actual" spending of the Labour Government rather than their spin version of events.

Are you going to publish what Labour spent our money on?

Paul Danon

Would he introduce school-vouchers so that parents could choose schools and money would follow the pupil?

Anton Howes

"Will your brand of a more centrist, liberal Conservative Party survive the next election, or will the socially conservative wing try to determine policy to a greater extent?"

"If they will, then will you try to stop them?"
(Obvious next one being "how")

Paul Danon

Would he abolish regional assemblies?

Paul Danon

Would he introduce patient-budgets so that patients could choose health-services (including from private providers)?

Paul Danon

What does he think of 20:20? I.e. a 20% flat rate tax on all earnings over £20k.

Battle 2807

I am sure this will be one of your own questions, Fraser, but if not - ask Cameron if he realises how many votes he is going to lose to UKIP if he is not a great deal clearer about his intentions regarding the Lisbon treaty.

Edmund Jerk

What do you plan to do with the BBC? Personally I believe that privatisation is the wrong approach to the problems, do you have any plans for reform?

mitch

Will you give us a vote on the Lisbon treaty whatever happens? a simple yes or no will suffice, no flannel, no evasions.Yes and you seal the deal No and I will pick Ukip or the party who scares you most.

Augustus

If you want a Conservative Government to make a success of reforming the NHS into a top European healthcare system, shouldn't you at least study, and possibly take on board, other countries systems where everyone is automatically insured by means of a contributing partnership between the insurance companies and the state? This is not privatization by the backdoor, but sensible management of the resources.

Labour Matters

In the spirit of Marr: when was the last time you took class-a drugs?

Saltirethinking

Why was a brilliant Westminster candidate in Berwickshire Roxburgh and Selkirk forced to resign in order to accommodate an individual who is already an MSP?.

Anna Raccoon

In view of Mr Mandelson's 'kind' offer - could you ask Mr Cameron whether there is any position he would offer him, and if so, what?
If the response is not libelous or defamatory, will you publish it?

Alan Douglas

As "We will not let metters rest there" re a referendum on the Lisbon treaty is not a banner I can leap to charger behind, would Mr Cameron please take this opportunity to give a simple Yes or NO : Can we have the promised referendum regardless of what stage the Lisbon treaty is at if he wins the coming election ?

Alan Douglas

teledu

Mr Cameron, if the majority of the British electorate were in FAVOUR of the Lisbon Treaty, do you think Gordon Brown WOULD have held the referendum by now? And, if he had not, would you have promised by now to hold it?
Do the so-out-of-touch political classes think democracy doesn't apply if it gives answers they disgaree with?
Are you reluctant to promise the referendum come what may because you are frightened of being unpopular with the other EU leaders? Have you the stomach to fight for the right of the British to hold an opinion that differs from those of the EU leaders?

Ian McIntyre

Will the next Conservative government accept that independent schools provide 'public benefit' by their mere existence and instruct the Charity Commission to back off?

Michael Booth

Mr Cameron,
If the Conservative Party are committed to 'less government' and believe in traditional liberties, which pieces of statist, intrusive legislation will you commit to repealing immediately?

Michael Heaver

Why do you allow those who supposedly more pro-EU than the official Tory party policy on the EU like Ken Clarke on the front bench, but have banned those who are more eurosceptic than the official Tory line (who support EU withdrawal) from ever serving on your front bench?

interested party

Would Mr Cameron, in addition to US-style debates, support US-style asset/tax disclosures? Secondly, does Mr Cameron or his wife benefit from arrangements such as Trusts designed to shield wealth from tax or does he or his immediate family make use of ex-UK tax shelters such as the Channel Islands?

Chris Gillibrand

Has increasing commitment to Europe damaged the special relationship with the US?

Best wishes from Brussels!

Moraymint

I should like reassurance that there is some serious, behind-the-scenes analysis taking place that will make a post-Election, emergency budget fit for purpose.

In other words, we can all understand why the Conservative Party (or any political party) would not wish to say too much now about the measures it intends to take to dig the country out of Brown's near-bottomless economic pit.

However, some of us remain of the view that the Tory leadership has yet to grasp fully the true horror of what could lie ahead - economically and socially - if they're not indeed prepared to adopt pretty draconian measures after taking office.

Not sure how this observation converts to a question, but as a smart journalist, I'm sure you'll think of something.

Have a good interview.

Daniel1979

Fraser,

I would like a referendum on Lisbon, but if it is ratified by the time he comes to power I would like to know if David Cameron will still put it to a vote, or if maybe in that situation he would be prepared to put the wider issue of UK membership to a referendum?

Also, I am interested if the Conservative leadership now have a settled approach to how they will tackle the disparity between devolved government and Westminster, and what that might look like.

Lance Grundy

Earlier this year in an article in the Australian newspaper Thought police muscle-up in Britain Hal G. P. Colebatch, the sometime teacher of political science and international law claimed that, under New Labour, “Britain appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state”.

What does Mr Cameron think about this, what does he plan to do about it and will his government guarantee freedom of speech in Britain?

Libby Brooks

I'd like you to ask him to be more specific about Conservative plans for welfare reform, particularly with reference to single parents who want to stay at home with their young children, something you and I have talked about a wee bit in the past, Fraser.

Uncle Bob

Mr Cameron, what would a Tory government do to restore the strength of the private sector as the only way we will get the country out of this mess is with a resurgant thrust from private enterprise.

PS. Will you ge Ryan Giggs a knighthood? Chris Foy got one for riding a bike in a circle for a couple of races, Giggs has been the perfect sporting role model for 20 years and is a fine example for Britons in any walk of life.

Jack R

Will the Conservative Party, explicitly, and in its Election Manifesto, reverse its policy of supporting the entry of Turkey into the EU, as such a policy will speed up the Islamization of Europe, when 75 million Turks are included.

anne allan

Will you promise to demolish the surveillance state that has built up over the last twelve years?
Specifically - the retention of DNA & fingerprints of the innocent.
Snooping on private family arrangements for childcare.
Constant interference in every day life; bugs in wheelie bins, council snoopers checking out every detail of our houses and movements.
The retention of our emails and phone calls.
Abolish the ISA and bring the CRB into the open.
Bring the proliferation of CCTV under control. Every camera to be accounted for and and licensed with a hefty annual fee (I don't normally advocate more bureaucracy; if someone can think of another way to bring this plague under control, go for it)
Thorough review of every anti-civil liberty/privacy law passed since 1997.

Wight Tory

Is there any prospects of introducing a transferable taxable income allowance for married couples, allowing a parent to stay at home and not earn. This could be the rewarding marriage policy that we need.

Michael Booth

Mr Cameron,

Will a Conservative government repeal all legislation with regard to inciting religious hatred and blasphemy as being irreconcilable with the principle of free speech?

Joseph Sheedy

Mr Cameron, what do you think of your Education Spokesman Michael Gove's commens declaring he thought of himself as one of "Thatcher's Orphans". With you associating yourself with individuals so resentful of the Thatcher years, does this mean that you have renounced the Conservative Party and intended to create something totally different in an effort to be elected?

Hyena

Will you roll back the unprecedented infringement on our civil liberties brought about by Labour? Specifically, policies such as the taking of DNA evidence from innocent people; control orders; the need to have childcare "checks" to look after your friend's children; police's unaccountable stop-and-search powers, etc?

Will you fight America to prove that the "special relationship" exists and repeal the Extradition Act?

Nicholas

I hope that you will fully answer Lance Grundy's question. When are our police going to stop arresting children for things they have said?

Steve Green (Daily Referendum Blog)

You have shown strong leadership whilst in opposition (expenses etc). Can you promise to do the same as Prime Minister?

Vulture

Post-Marr the obvious question: Are you on any regular medication (anti-depressants or otherwise), and would you tell us if you were?

D B C

Please - don't fudge any referendum question. We have had 12 years of this - please clearly state your intentions. As you keep saying "the public are not fools"

Billy Blofeld

In Government, how radical will the Conservatives plans be, when compared to Hannan and Carswell's book The Plan?

Matthew Oliver

Do you know if Lord Ashcroft pays tax in the UK? If you don't shouldnt you?

Would you ever invest in Conservative Home?

You promise a referendum on Lisbon (if unratifed) because the Govt promised one. Why not then support one on PR as well and argue the strengths of FPTP.

Who would you like to chair a televised leaders debate?

Strictly Come Dancing or X Factor?

Peter

1. In view of the overwhelming scientific evidence which contradicts the MMGW hypothesis will he at least undertake to hold serious debate before committing this country to economic annihilation by signing up to the current global proposals?

2. Will he accept that security of energy supply post-2018 is a priority by disregarding the EU requirements on conventional coal power by retaining current power generation until nuclear and carbon capture stations are in place?

3. Will he unilaterally renegotiate our membership of the EU if the referendum produces a no vote?

4. Will he accept that in order to make the massive cuts necessary confrontation with public servants and labour placemen is inevitable. The current 1000 plus quangos and other NGOs must be reduced by at least 80%.

Andre

Does he endorse Benjamin Netanyahu's memorable speech to the United Nations? Will he stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel in the fight against Islamic terrorism?

Simon

If I vote for Cameron what tangible differences will I see in my life by this time next year? Will the Landlord of my local Pub be able to decide whether he allows smoking on HIS premises? Will I be less spied upon and penalised for every minor transgression? Will there have been a mass repeal of repressive laws? Will I notice any difference at all?

Pete-s

Question: The british human rights legislation says we have the right to vote. As therefore Labours ratification of the Lisbon Treaty is illegal as they denied us that right to vote. What are the cons going to do about it.

Rhoda Klapp

Which of Labour's thousands of bad and repressive laws will you repeal?

Dear Dave,

What have you offered the Murdochs in return for the support of News Corporation in the forthcoming general election?

And does the deal include selling to News Corporation something currently owned and run by the BBC?

DavidDP

Will you demonstrate a real degree of leadership by recognising publicly that once ratified, a retrospective referendum cannot happen and that the UK government should simply move on to ensure future EU developments are more palatable?

DavidDP

Will he continue to lead the party in line with its One-Nation tradition and resist the pressure from those who believe Conservatism starts and ends with Lady Thatcher?

If you are going to make massive bugetary cuts which most people now accept have you also considered tax cuts to get people on side.

Robin Guenier

As global temperatures have not risen for ten years despite increased CO2 emissions and some scientists now fear that we may be entering a cooling phase due to natural causes, are you prepared to reconsider your party's position on climate change?

Fausty

Would he abolish the ISA and repeal RIPA and the Civil Contingencies Act? If not, why not and would bits of them would he change?

Will he roll back the surveillance state, prohibiting government to obtain our private email and phone data without a warrange from a judge?

Will he get rid of CRB checks and let common sense prevail? After all, the murders which were used as an excuse to bring in CRB checks were down to the incompetence of the authorities.

Will he restore, in its intirety, habeas corpus and pledge to keep it in place?

Will he promise to keep trial by jury, as it has always existed?

Will he pull out of the EU's extradition treaties?

John Trudgill

How does he intend to make the executive more answerable to parliament?

FaustiesBlog

Would he abolish the ISA and repeal RIPA and the Civil Contingencies Act? If not, why not and would bits of them would he change?

Mr Cameron

have you read Hannan and Carswell's "The Plan"? With which bits do you agree and will implement?

What step are going to be taken in the first six months of the new parliament to roll-back the power of the State?

John Levett

Will he see sense, admit to the climate change scam and commit to more nuclear power? Will he pull out of Afghanistan? Will he dismantle the surveillance state? Will he de-politicise the police? Will he insist on monoculturism? Will he put an end to the bin police? Will he prevent state interference in family life? Will he end PFI? Will he stop immigration? Will he sack the consultants and the quangos? Will he abandon all the useless IT projects? Will he commit to education vouchers? Will he stop the growth of on-the-spot 'justice'? Will he stop DVLA and others selling our information? Will he give us back our sovereignty?

Will he give us any hope that his party is worth voting for?

Chris Gillibrand

What will be your absolutely highest priority on day one of a Conservative government?

Moraymint

Hysteria got in before me, but I was going to post a supplementary to my earlier post. I'd like Mr Cameron to tell us how much of the Hannan/Carsewell polemic, "The Plan", he is minded to run with?

David Galea

Please ask Mr Cameron what he thought of Auberon Waugh's old 'Another Voice' column! A second hand copy of the 'Another Voice' collection is only a penny plus postage on Amazon.

verysmallurl

if the Irish vote "yes" in their referendum will you still give British voters a referendum and if not, why not?

Gwyn Price-Evans

Fraser,
Ask David Cameron this question:
"There are many who know that having a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty is only a partial response to Britain's democratic deficit. Even if you grant people the chance to vote on Lisbon, you will still be limited by Brussels on what you need to do. Why don't you offer voters a straight referendum on EU membership and regain the UKIP voters you need to win?"

Boudicca

Similar to others:
1) Will he guarantee a Referendum on the LisbonConTreaty if Ireland and the Czechs ratify
2) Will he amend Labour's gerrymandered devolution so that only MPs representing English Constituencies can vote on matters which only affect England.

Flemingcrag

Will the Conservatives insist banking is again seperated into Low and High risk modules by re-introducing the controls that were removed by the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act? I know it was an American law but, its intent was honoured Worldwide.
and
Does he recognise that Banker's bonuses were an effect of this law being repealed giving them licence to play casino with the life savings of people who only wanted an interest return on their money as it was put to good social use funding local businesses?

TrevorsDen

I think the real weak point in Cameron's stance is on global warming.

I believe there is no such thing as man made global warming and its a self serving scam by the UN and its associated scientific establishment.

Energy conservation and construction of nuclear power is fine. But hanging this on global warming betrays weak thinking.
Wind power is an expensive waste of time.

On top of all this - there is NO global warming. temps are the same as 20+ years ago and ice loss is totally in line with seasonal averages. Indeed ice is thickening not decreasing in many places.

SKY tried to run a scare story about retreating glaciers in the Himalayas but (I like to think) after I pointed them to reports by Indian scientists saying it was down to local conditions it mysteriously disappeared from the news schedule.

So
1 - Before spending (wasting) billions and billions will he give us an independent and open and transparent analysis and report on the IPCC operation?
2 - Will he accept that some of the science - like Manns hockey stick and the scare stories about Arctic ice and sea levels - are just political/ propaganda scares?

LBA

As a young disabled person, I am really concerned that any cuts made by a conservative government in welfare system will have a impact on my day to day living, can you guarantee that young disabled people will be supported fully and without prejudice with impending cuts?

WitteringsfromWitney

Two questions Fraser:

1. In view of Williams Hagues comment in Saturday's Daily Telegraph, on the Lisbon Treaty, is that "We think it is bad for Britain in the long term and we want to give the British people their say.", if the Conservative Party consider it bad for Britain in the long term and that they want to give the British people their say, what difference does it make whether the treaty is ratified or not?

2. William Hague states that he still believes in being "In Europe, but not ruled by Europe" and that that is still his belief. In which case that can only mean withdrawal and negotiation for a trading agreement such as has Norway. As this is not Conservative Party policy how does Mr. Cameron justify keeping William Hague on his front bench?

DM

House of Lords reform please Fraser...

Is there any chance that party political appointments to the Lords will be abolished, and the second chamber will be become elected?

(I do not think Michael Martin deserves a peerage and a chance to screw the taxpayer for even more. It also annoys me considerably that Mandelson is a peer, therefore unelected but is virtually running the country etc etc.) This should not be a sanctuary for worn out MPs. Labour promised reform. It never happened, and what's more they have packed it with voting fodder. (Nor do I want to see it packed with Tory fodder either, but some sharp independent minds who can scrutinise legislation. and contribute to intelligent debate.
And please, can Dave promise NEVER to allow Tony or Cherie or Gordon Brown a peerage.

Yorkshireman

Given that trust in British politicians is at an all time low (and that is saying something), if you do not guarantee a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, as per your last manifesto and repeated announcements, what do you think will happen to trust in you and your government if you become Prime Minister?

If you don't guarantee a referendum, how will you be distinguished from Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg ?

Reg511

Wy has foreign Aid been ring-fenced? If we are to help others then first we must look after ourselves, and until you know the exact financial crisis you inherit how can you promise anything?

simon s

Does Mr Cameron think that the British people have brought the 'actionman - i saved the world from financial catastrophe' line that Brown is pushing?

Do the British people believe the line that: the problems started in the US with Lehmans and spread to the rest of world? Personally i think to a degree they have - which is bad from the Conservative point of view.

James Earle

Please would you ask him whether he considers the independent criminal Bar to be an esential feature of our justice system. If so what, if anything, should be done to preserve it?

Tim House

From reading all the comments the one most urgent and pressing question is the EU. No one in Britain has ever voted for anything other than a free trading zone. The public want to trade and have good relations with our neighbours. Fullstop. Not the thing that has morphed into the EU. I do not want the undemacratic EU passing our laws and costing us £40 million pounds per day. it also appears we're the only one who plays by all the rules whilst the rest conspire and laugh at us. What did we get for giving up our recent rebate? Nothing. Referendum now please or tell us we'll have one retrospectively! Otherwise it's UKIP for me.

Gawain

You give the impression that your governments role, should you be elected, will be to administer New Labour's Britain a little more efficiently. In that case, why should conservatives vote for you at the next election ?

David Lindsay

Why do you want Andrew Adonis, James Purnell, and now also Peter Mandelson in your Cabinet?

Peggy.Day

How are the family doing?

Derek Wright

Gordon Brown's latest mantra is that he will, unlike the Conservatives, concentrate on the big issues blah blah. Will you please concentrate on the "small" issues that he blatently ignores that affect the little people such as the recent report of "illegal" childminding by best friends looking afer each other's children and being "investigated" by Ofsted, (among many other communist regulations)and will you promise to repeal or correct the law so that ordinary decent people can prosper in freedom.

Steve McCauley

Brian E.

What is he going to do about the Ministry of Defence which appears to regard defence procurement as being for the benefit of the British Arms Industry rather than for the benefit of our armed forces and for the defence of this country.
You might also ask why we need a Defence Ministry which is far larger now than the Ministry of War was in 1944 when we were actually fighting a war.

1. Ask him what his stance on civil liberties is and whether it is shared by 'less rights more wrongs' Chris Grayling.
2. Impress on him the need to clear up the smears around the new European parliament partners.
3. Is he going to bring back David Davis?
4. Does George Young's appointment indicate that the Cameron project will remain liberal-minded?

Peter Maxwell

Mr Cameron made reference a few weeks ago that Government should be prepared to offer value for money in much the same way as Tesco. The point he makes is hugely important given the bloated bureaucracy in central government, local government, and the endless list of quangos. Will he be prepared to spell out in detail how he intends to achieve cost and efficiency savings to deliver less but more efficient government. This is important because it will draw a clear blue line between him and Gordon Brown who will not or cannot retract from supporting his ever spawning client state.

AAE

Will you give back back the plurality of our society, lost without any articulated opposition from your party, by vastly reducing the tentacles of the state, and explain why the government has any moral right to erode our freedoms by punitive layers of taxation and criminalizing areas of thought and deed that should not be it's business?

Jonathan_T

I am frankly amazed that you lot have even bothered. Remember who your putative questions are being addressed to: The Silver Spoon Spiv himself.

Impossible to get a straight answer to any difficult question from Blair, so why on earth expect one from his apology for an heir.

Carly

In a recent Daily Telegraph poll 70% of respondents said they want the Conservatives, should you win the election, to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Even if it has been ratified by all other countries. Will you give the majority of the electorate what they want? Also on the Europe issue, in every poll ever conducted a majority of people are Eurosceptic yet the Tories do not tap into this and exploit the Labour and Lib Dem pro-Europeanism, why?

Stan, UK

Labour are seriously considering voting reform which will make it very difficult if not impossible for the Conservative party to form a government again. Given that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have devolution and England votes conservative in the majority, shouldn't the Tory party go nuclear and call for an English Parliament? If Labour try to bring in a system to benefit them.

Jo Forber

Do you think it is the right strategy to put so much emphasis on cuts to the exclusion of everything else? This country has got many many problems that need addressing not just the economy. People need, yes, to understand the grave situation we are in financially, but we also need something positive to vote for. When Obama won the US elections he did so by giving people hope of change.

London Calling

1. Do you take Antidepressants?

2. Do you roll when given a treat?

3. Do you have a magic wand?

Carol-Ann

Three of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom have devolution but England does not. Do you agree this is unfair and would you hold a referendum on an English Parliament NOT Regional devolution? Surely it is about time the Conservatives stood up for the people of England more, given that if you win the next general election it will be largely thanks to the voters of England.

Danielle Goldsmith

Fraser, my question is not the kind of question Cameron would probably get asked on the doorsteps but I think it's a very important issue. I hope you get an answer for me. Here it is:

What is your view on the country's current libel laws? If you win the next election would you reform the draconian libel laws that have made Britain a magnet for Libel tourism? Do you find it shameful that our once Great country is now stifling free speech not just here but around the world? Our closest ally on earth (America) has a bill going through its Congress that will stop recognising the libel judgements of British courts. Also Judge Eady is a threat to free speech and the newspaper industry in this country with his peverse judgements in lible cases, what areyou going to doabout this issue?

Oliver Coulson, London

Three questions:

1. I am tempted to vote Lib Dem due to Clegg promising they would push to cut the number of MP's by 150 and scrap the HoL and replace it with an elected Upper House. I know you say you will cut the number of MP's but I feel you have not gone far enough and what is your position on the House of Lords? Is it not time to be radical, no half measures?

2. Our broadcast media is the most heavily regulated in the western world. If every other part of life can be deregulated ie markets, energy, newspapers, airlines etc, why can't we have lighter regulation in broadcasting? This would bring about more choice for viewers.

3. You are always talking about localism and giving power to people. What is your position on referendums/ballot initiatives? Do you not agree that on major issues like assisted suicide, abortion, legalising drugs, europe etc national referendums should be held. At the moment on major issues politicians often say 'we want a debate about X Y Z' but in truth that means the politicians stating their views, the media/commentators/so called experts talking back to them, but there is no mechanism for the views of the people to be heard or reflected. On major issues and on rare occasions would it not be right to have debates where all views are heard but the people actually get to have the final say? I also think debating major issues would stop the media focusing non stop on tedious matters, who is up who is down and personalities.

Caroline Hett

Was Andrew Marr right to ask Brown about painkillers and prescription drugs? Is there a legitimate public interest?

If yes. Has David Cameron ever suffered from and/or been treated for depression?

Des

I believe it is in our interests for Britain to always stand shoulder to shoulder with the US and Israel, no matter what. Do you agree?

Stephen

A really big issue is poensions and yet all politicians and civil servants are protected from the rules that have had such an adverse effect on the private sector pensions. How do you intened to make those rule makers more accountable for such an important issue.

Daniel, England

Why do the Tories allow Labour to get away with saying they are now the underdogs when the electoral bias means that you will need a lead of around 8-10% just to get a majority of 1? Labour are trying to make people think you are arrogant and taking victory for granted and a lot of people do not know about the electoral system, don't you need to get this message accross to the voters? Remember what Alistair Campbell used to say, 'the voters only start getting it when politicians are sicking of saying it and journalists are tired of hearing it'.

Ben Gladstone

+ Flemingcrag - will he introduce a Glass-Steagall act (and if not why not)?

What are your policies on stopping the energy companies ripping of customers in this country? Something they do not do elsewhere in Europe. Do you understand fuel poverty and how many people are suffering from it?

Will you make a prominent statement of the date of Tax Freedom Day part of every Conservative Budget?

Damon

Two questions I can think of are:

1. You have many impressive minds in your future Cabinet, but little in the way of management and/or business experience? How do you plan to compensate for that?

2. How do you now regard the 2006 Tax Reform Commission report commissioned by George Osborne?

Gareth Young

Should the English be allowed to choose the form of government best suited to their needs (ie an English Parliament) instead of having Labour imposing regions on us, or the Tories imposing English Votes on English Laws?

Roger Slade

Is he going to hold a referendum on the EEC constitution? Is he going to continue with Trident, aircraft carriers and Typhoon? Is he going to clip the BBC's wings? Is he going to de-politicise the police? Is he going to scrap all quangos? Is he going to reduce the number of civil & public servants and scrap their final salary schemes? Is he going to reduce the number of MPs and stop the Scots and the Welsh from voting on English issues? Is he actually going to answer any question put to him?

Simon Stephenson

Could you, perhaps, remind him of Ronald Reagan's opinion that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help", and ask him whether he considers this to be an appropriate maxim for whoever forms the UK government after the next General Election?

Dear Mr Cameron,
What's your position on nuclear power for the United Kingdom? If successful at forming a government, will you provide more nuclear power stations, reduce them, or keep numbers the same?

Private Schultz

Probably too late, but I'd be interested to know what Mr Cameron thinks are the pros and cons of means testing for some benefits. For example, my father feels a bit of a fraud when gets his winter fuel allowance, free transport etc, because he's lucky enough to be able to live comfortably without that assistance. Similarly, many better-off families do not need child benefit help. Given the huge crater of debt created by the current government, there will have to be significant cuts - perhaps this might be one way to grade them so the most disadvantaged people are less severely penalised.

Another late entry -

Ban the Burqa.

Will Tories make explicit Election Manifesto commitment to ban the wearing of the burqa (and all other total body covering) in public in Britain?

Verity

Jack R - Agreed.

The young women in Britain are wearing this in-yer-face sign of their religion as a way of giving the finger to their host country. Covering one's face in public should be illegal - in fact, I think it is, but the law is ignored in the cause of placating some desert tribal people. I'm sure I remember from when I was a little girl, hearing that covering one's face "on the public highway" is illegal. I remember the phrase because I thought of Dick Turpin and thought the law was rather thrilling.

As I've mentioned before - and so have others - Mohammad had enough to think about with all his wives and he never got into fashion consultation. In fact, given that he was so busy prescribing everything else, he had surprisingly little to say about dress, except that "women should dress modestly", which, given the state of British town centres on Saturday nights, is actually sound advice. He also said that men should dress modestly.

Burqas and all that paraphenalia that looks so sinister, not to say comical, on European streets, is just ancient desert nomad attire to keep the ever-blowing sands of the Sahara out of noses, mouths, eyes and ears. It long, long predates Islam.

Not for Prophet

To all those who questioned Cameron about the EUSSR, note that any answers he gives will be notable for their evasion. Cameron, like his hero Blair, sees his own personal future as a figure of power and influence in Europe. As with Blair, the ancient country of Britain is but a stepping stone to real, unelected power.
