(Previous questions: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.)

Chris’s answer much fuller and more specific – liked it.

YouTube hustings were definitely a great idea, were we the first UK party to do it?

All the questions chosen were asked by men. Did no women ask any questions? If so, what does it say about this medium? If not, are the organisers sure that all the best q’s came from men?

As #1. Much better answer from Chris on this one.
