    Thanks for taking the time to come an answer the questions here.

    I think in the time available you did well in answering so many questions.

    It's going to be great going through and reading all your replies.

    Hopefully you'll want to come back answer some more questions some time

    Quite diasapointed really. He did not answer that many questions and the ones he did answer he seemed to avoid the question as much as he could.
    He managed to answer the most inane and needless questions. BORING.

    I finally bother to mash together a question and he's gone - I bet Ed would have waited

    There's only so much one person can do in 30mins, I was very impressed by how many he answered. If you wanted an indepth answer, then for just one question it would've taken longer than 30mins... I think he's performed very well
    People are annoyed because he answered question such as "Do you have tea with the PM?" and "What's the relationship like with Ed?", despite his limited time.

    You can't tell me you're impressed with this.

    Oh they so won't ask him about amnesty for illegal immigrats, drugs etc.

    I'm not that disappointed though, since I don't vote/support Labour. If a Tory I quite liked did the equivelant of this though, I'd feel a bit let down.
    I hope they do, otherwise what's the point in the show? Pfft.

    Same here. But then I'm not a Tory either.

    How dare you insult one of the potential leaders of our country's only major moral party!

    Apologise at once.

    That's not all he's answered though, and those questions didn't take long to answer. Sure, I'm not impressed because either you do it properly or not at all, but c'mon look at mumsnet, asking Brown questions on his favorite biscuit?

    Will the posts be corrected for spelling/grammatical errors?
    Give him (well, his scribes) a break :p:

    I would have thought it only fair that he answers the first questions that were asked...erm first.

    I'm surprised David didn't, in time-honoured TSR tradition, start a thread in the H&R Forum asking about height. "Electorare: How tall would you like your ideal PM to be"?

    he's a bust man you know.
    I always thought he was an ass man... :holmes:

    But the fact that he had the time to come on here at all and answer questions is pretty impressive...

    Agree. I posted the fourth or fifth question and I doubt they even looked at that page.

    Just as you interpret graphs in a very strange way, I think your definitions of well and so many don't quite gel with mine. No sooner was he here than he (or his aides, at least) had gone.
