From November 2009, ThinkPolitics.co.uk will be conducting regular twitterviews — an interview conducted on Twitter — with our nation’s politicians. Questions will be unscreened and will come mostly from Think Politics’ growing band of followers. Each question and each response much be contained within a single Tweet. It is our view that this exciting format will make both questions and answers more direct.
Our inaugural twitterview is on Monday, 2 November at 6pm (London time) with the Rt. Hon Jim Knight, Minister of State for Employment & Welfare Reform. Submit your questions for Jim via Twitter by tweeting “@thinkpolitics”, by email to info@thinkpolitics.co.uk, or by leaving a comment below. (Please note that questions sent by email or left in the blog comment box below should be labeled ‘Twitterview’ and be no longer than 140 characters, including spaces.
To follow the twitterview live login to Twitter at 6pm on Monday and follow our tweets @thinkpolitics. We’ll ask the questions and we’ll post the responses, so can you watch the whole thing in real time via our stream. If you miss the live event, an unedited transcript will appear on this blog, which as always, will be open to comment and analysis.
We’ll look forward to seeing you on Monday, and in the meantime, we’re excited to see what questions you come up with.
Has your experience at Education helped you at Employment? How far does education help people get jobs these days?
Only one positive view can be held re the Envenomed Ulcer and that is total withdrawal from the so-called ‘union’!
The UK has now lost both its basic principles of our unwritten constitution:(1)The Rule of Law (2) Parliamentary Sovreignty
this also means we have lostas a consequence, through abject surrender to an unelected Power, Electoral Reform within our boundaries, Prerogative powers ie the role of the monarch, Culture of Liberty, Freedom of Information (which is already seriously vetted here in the UK), and our National Independence.
On top of what we have lost, through weak politicians in all three major parties, we have now succumbed to an undemocratic, anonymous, power-hungry consortium of self-elected tin pot dictators who don’t care a fig for the individual. To rub salt into the many wounds we pay £45,000,000 a day into it’s coffers for the ‘privilege’!
