Questions for BBC QT

[gothatway]

In two (?) weeks time, BBC Question Time will have just one person on the panel - Michael Gove. The following week will be David Cameron.

What question would you a) submit beforehand, knowing that it would be vetted and/or b) hope to ask from the floor in the general discussion (assuming the programmes follow the normal format) ?

My ad hoc question to Cameron would be whether he could assure us that he would never seek a role as an EU Commissioner or other such EU bureaucrat.

If we stay in the EU to help bring about radical reform, What do you think the chance of success will be?

[John145]

The key issue with the EU's democratic credentials is the European Commission, what is the mechanism for reversing the balance of power between the commission and the European parliament?

To Mr C.
What guarantees have you had from the EU on anything. No faffing around, plain english. Wedgie him if he faffs.

[steveatesh]

To Mr C.

"Specifically, What are the risks of remaining the EU?"

And

"What will be good for the UK if we leave the EU?"

A wasted question

For both him and Tony Blair before him the salary paid to a Prime Minister is a pittance (and that paid to an EU official likewise). They expect to earn the big money once they leave the job, hence why both retired/plan to retire while relatively young.

Tony Blair has been estimated to have earned £50M-£100M since leaving office.

Hence the desperation, IMO, with which Cameron seeks a remain vote. The establishment wants to stay in and he will only be able to seek similar rewards if he keeps the establishment happy.

If you had a personality, what would it be like?


I thought about this for a minute and really can't think of anything that I would want or feel the need to ask David Cameron. He is such a bland and predictable politician that he will only ever give stock answers setting out wholly predictable positions.

What would be this radical reform

[DocJock]

No point. Neither will answer the question anyway and just trot out some pre-prepared soundbites.

"In the event of Brexit, would you consider invading Europe to bring economic stability to the region?"

To CMD
Your a multi millionaire with money flowing out your backside....
Yet you get the misses to drive around in a crappy £1.5k Nissan micra

Will convincing the general public to vote remain be an easier sell that that car to Samantha?

To CMD,

If migrants are net contributors and we've had 300,000 a year coming in - why are we cutting back drastically on every essential service in the country?

To Mr Cameron

Why have you handled the campaign so badly and got so involved. Why did you choose this option rather than making your personal viewpoint known and then allowing the opposing camps to engage in genuine honest debate.

Nail and head ... sadly empty vessels make the loudest noise its the old if you can't explain something in simple terms then you don't understand it yourself,,,,I think CMD is very close to overtaking Ted heath as the worst tory leader ....

[powerstroke]

To mr Cameron you are a traitor would you prefer the firing squad or lamppost and piano wire.....

[williamp]

There needs to be a question about the nhs. Wont be qt without one...

Is it right that the nhs takes the best from the medical profession of the third world to work here, meaning their home countries are at a significant disadvantage for growth, infant mortality, leaders etc

Agreed.

The answer will start with the word 'look...', then state their appreciation of people's >genuine< concerns (emphasised as they do) then go off at a tangent via a rehearsed answer.

If Paxman were conducting the interviews I may have a bit of hope. God, I miss him.

He's handled it so badly that the Remain camp are odds-on to win.....

Given the diabolical relaunch of Top Gear, when will the BBC be out for tender?
