    That's fine - the whole thing has been forgotten about. If you want to give your own opinion, by all means write an article. If you want to conduct an interview, please try to be completely impartial so we don't print any misquotes. We could do with a Johann Hari - despite the plagiarism incident he's a good writer.
    What about a George Monbiot? A person who writes material that only George Monbiot really agrees with. I can definitely be that person.

    Ad HOC needs a mini-Monbiot!

    I think any interview by JPKC would have to be checked by you with the person he's interviewed I'm for him being able to do it, I just think he still needs treating with a little suspicion after last time :lol:

    Do you change their interviews too? :holmes:

    You should be interviewed, get an exclusive scoop from the hackers point of view
    Maybe I should just interview myself!

    All interview responses will be verified. He has my trust, but anyone's content that contains quotes will be checked just so I can avoid a repeat of last time.

    I'll do an interview, but only if JPKC reinterprets it all first.

    The questions posed to members in future editions will be tougher. As it was the first edition, we decided to pose 'lighter' questions to avoid intimidating readers from outside who were not familiar with the House.

    I'd be more than happy to be interviewed/JPKCed or whatever if you need contributions.

    Isn't it the turn of the other party leaders now, for fairness sake? Surely jesusandtequila and Abiraleft should be the next interviewees?
    I think this should be the case. I think, Birchington, we should work through the other party leaders. I'll draw up a list now of them then contact them via PM?

    (Original post by JPKC)
    I would like to conduct an interview. Pwease, in the spirit of redemption and salvation? If it counts for crap I'm politics editor of a RL college mag, I'm like Johann Hari.
    Thanks for volunteering to contribute. Not this issue though...

    (Original post by Metrobeans)
    I don't mind offering myself up as an interviewee, if there's any interest...
    Thanks Nick, you'll get one in the near future.

    I understand, but I need someone from you're party to represent the MPs and someone said that you're the closest thing to a leader of the Socialists.

    If you know of anyone else who's more of a leader of the Socialists, please let me know of their name and I'll get in contact with them.

    Just out of interest, if the socialists were to win a landslide in the next election, how would you choose prime minister? :holmes:

    I imagine we'd actually use the Cabinet in the way it was intended, as a collective decision making body, with the PM being no-more than a spokesman chosen to put across the views of the Government. We could always rename Cabinet/the Privy Council as the Central Committee/Politburo!
