    Can we also get a volunteer to go first for an interview?
    If I must :awesome:

    Thanks for all you're ideas guys.

    In terms of managing this, Birchington is the Editor of the MHoC Newspaper and I'm now Deputy Editor mainly taking on the role of managing the content for the publication. Birchington will focus on the designing of the newspaper.

    What we now need from you is content submissions and ideas for the name of the newspaper.

    I also intend to PM Party leaders asking them for content.

    Can we also get a volunteer to go first for an interview? I'm not sure how we're going to structure it yet.
    I'll do an interview if you want, its not as 'high profile' as going for a party leader but i'm up for it if you want me.

    Actually, given the Member of the Term will be done soon, why not make them your first interview?

    I think I'll do that actually. Do we think one interview is enough per issue? If we do more than 1 then we'll run out of people to interview!

    If you are doing it monthly then you have to do more than one person per issue, perhaps first issue should be the member of the term plus leaders of each party?

    I reckon 1 is more than enough. Don't want this to be too padded, because ideally this will be going in the News and Current Affairs section where potential newbies can see it. It needs to be approachable. However, I reckon fortnightly would be better than monthly. Gotta keep things fresh.

    How about a section where a minister/shadow minister comments on a policy the corresponding RL party, or any RL party is pursuing and how they would do things differently, or if they agree with it.

    and for a title, its a bit crappy but how about "The Politics Paper"

    I've been an MP for less than 7 days and would gladly submit myself for interrogation, though Party leaders should perhaps be a priority. I don't mind taking on the role of Paxman either and actually doing some interviews.

    I always like the "Hansoff" as a name for a HoC newspaper, myself. Would reflect the hands off attitude that party leaders should take to it.

    How about 'Model T'?

    (Model T(imes) [for a Model Commons]? It doesn't really work, does it... )

    It needs a catchy name, nothing too ordinary.

    That might be the one. Thanks for all your suggestions.

    We will do the PM & Leader of the Opposition in this issue then work our way through the Party Leaders & MPs.

    Had an idea for how you could interview. Set up a TSR MHoC tiny chat account, and then just let the interviewee sign in as a guest, you'd only have to give them a time that way. Would be quicker than a stream of PMs

    That's a good idea. I was wondering how else I could do it apart from TSR PMs! I'll mention this to our Editor.

    This looks like a great name! As far as I know, we're yet to choose one. We hope to announce it shortly
