Brown Tries Just Once More Not To Answer the Questions

We have elected representatives in the Opposition to ask the questions, but all of a sudden Brown wants direct democracy.

Today I visited Her Majesty the Queen to ask for a dissolution of Parliament and a General Election on May 6th.

From now until polling day I will travel the length and breadth of Britain with a simple message - Britain is on the way to economic recovery and now is not the time to put it at risk. But this is going to be a different kind of election – one where we the politicians throw open the doors to grassroots activists and the wider public.

That's why I'll be holding a People's PMQ tomorrow - let me know what questions you'd like answering.

Britain's future success will be shaped in the next few months.

It is a time of big challenges and tough decisions. Big questions need to be answered by all parties - click to ask me yours.

From the big calls on the economy - securing the recovery and creating future jobs - to tackling climate change, succeeding in Afghanistan, restoring faith in democracy and the other issues that face our country, only Labour has the credible answers.

And we’re going to prove it.

Tell me what you want answered at People's PMQs.

Thank you; I’ll see you on the campaign trail

Gordon

This should come with a serious health warning.

"Tell me what you want answered" should not be taken to mean that any questions submitted will actually be answered if the past 13 years are any guide.

I imagine the question 'why has the election been called too late to deal with the economic collapse you engineered?' won't be answered Nomad.

Or 'how long has your regime been in discussion with the IMF?'
