Why do you preach to people instead of talking to them like people?

Why do you claim you are working class when you live in a £2.3 million mansion?

Why did you stab your brother in the back?

Will you stab your country in the back by going into formal/informal alliance with the SNP?

Why do you want to introduce a mansion tax on people with homes over £2 million when you would have to pay it?

Why do you think you know how to be Prime Minister when you have not had a job outside politics?

Do you like open door immigration because that means more Labour voters?

Is the only reason you want to give 16 year old's the vote is just because young people are more likely to vote Labour and therefore giving you more votes?

Can he tell us what he thinks about legal aid and generally provision for the most vulnerable in society? This government has been reckless with the legal system. The Labour manifesto makes some promises but is a little vague.

Would Labour reverse the Chris Grayling's reforms?

Also - pass on my best wishes. I'm rooting for him!

Do you think Labour spent too much when it was last in government?

Do you think Ed Balls will make a good chancellor, or are you going to ditch him after the election?

What spending cuts would you make?

What happened to your brother Dave? Haven't seen him around for a while?

Is your relentless focus on the 'current' deficit—as opposed to the 'deficit'—simply an attempt to mislead voters into believing you have a shred of fiscal credibility?

What are your top three favourite things about Margaret Thatcher?

I will just get political spin answers back ¬¬

Would probably ask something like "why doesn't labour defend its economic record?"

How do you deal with bad media coverage? Does bad press affect your confidence? Do you feel you are respected? Perhaps As much as Cameron? Or not?

I would get personal :wink:

£2.3m in London hardly buys you a mansion. Property values have risen so fast in the capital that a lot of the time, people purchased their homes 15 or 20 years ago for relatively small amounts and now the value has increased significantly. Granted most people still won't have a £2m+ home, but it's not all that uncommon in the south west for that to be the case, and its not always because your 'filthy rich'.

Also, the fact that he will pay a tax and he is still willing to implement it suggests he has more credibility and decency than most politicians.

I think Labour is the party of working people. I share the values of the party which is fairness in our society.

He doesn't. Ever met him in person?

Why do you claim you are working class when you live in a £2.3 million mansion?

When has he ever called himself working class?

Why did you stab your brother in the back?

How did he stab his brother in the back? By standing in an election on a different policy platform and winning fairly?

Will you stab your country in the back by going into formal/informal alliance with the SNP?

No, he's answered that question several times.

Why do you want to introduce a mansion tax on people with homes over £2 million when you would have to pay it?

Because he has principles and puts other peoples' needs ahead of his own

Why do you think you know how to be Prime Minister when you have not had a job outside politics?

That's a bit classist.
