Ok, two questions.

Are you in favour of the weighted candidate lists that Cameron brought in, which has resulted in a larger representation of women, ethnic minorities, and gays, or do you think the best qualified person for the job should be selected for a seat?

Question two.

Are the Tories really in favour of equality for all, when a recent poll of Conservative M.P.'s revealed that...
'on several key questions Tory MPs are deeply divided. For instance, against the view of Mr Cameron, just 46 per cent of Tory MPs agree that gay couples should have the same rights as heterosexual couples, with 54 per cent disagreeing. For comparison, 83 per cent of Labour MPs and 92 per cent of Lib Dems agree.'
Have they really changed, or are will they say anything in the hope of once again forming a government?
