The Parallax Brief would like to remind reader(s) that the deadline to submit questions for for the inaugural Think Politics twitterview is fast approaching.

A twitterview is an interview conducted on Twitter, following Twitter restrictions and rules, and from this Monday Think Politics will be conducting regular twitterviews with politicians.  Questions will be unscreened and will come mostly from Think Politics’ growing band of Twitter followers — over 700 not much more than a couple of weeks after launch. Each question and each response must be contained within a single Tweet.

The Parallax Brief is actually quite excited about this project. At first, he was terrifically sceptical about Twitter and its potential and the type of people most likely to use it, but achievements of the Parallax Brief’s superiors from the Think Politics politburo at interacting, networking and communicating with politically active individuals and politicians have really converted him. And now he’s very excited about the very first twitterview on Monday, with Minister of State for Employment and Welfare reform Jim Knight.

Both questions and answers will have to be terse and pointed, and there’s be little room for obfuscation or verbosity.

The Parallax Brief has his own cunning question, but really recommends all those who would like a chance to ask a sitting minister of state — and one with as interesting, important and politically divisive brief as welfare reform and employment — to take the chance to submit a question.

You can send it via Twitter @thinkpolitics, post it below in the comment box, or email it to info@thinkpolitics.co.uk. Bear in mind, though, that if you’re emailing or leaving it in the comment box, it should be 140 characters including spaces, or less. Email subject lines should read “Twitterview”.
