1. (David Davies) Does the current round of mud slinging alter your views? Temper tantrums come to mind on this issue, and not getting your own way...
2. (EU Debate) In or Out? Why? In. The EU was initially, and still is one valuable unity we have in regards to economic equality and the avoidance of economic competition between states in the EU, which was ultimately the cause of WWII. Whilst the current system may not be ideal for whatever reason, that fundamental principle entrenched into the Community is important in my eyes, and leaving the EU would not do us any favours.
3. (Local Politics) Would you change the party of choice if given the chance? I currently lack faith in either party at the moment, and both seem to be gaining favour from the public in instances of the oppositions mistakes, rather than any strengths. I cant honestly say a party is 100% more competent than the other at the moment, particularly as the Tory policies will only be fully identified when a general election is called, and there is no doubt that they are playing on ambiguity at the moment.
4. (National Politics) can you say that you like this particular politician. Who and why? I don't quite understand this question, is this asking who I think the leader should be? I would opt for David Cameron over Gordon Brown. My reasons being that whilst Cameron may be playing solely on Labour's difficulties at the moment, he does show competence as a potential leader in my opinion, and a good character. It comes to the question of whether he is acting genuinely, but again, I think this is yet to be made clear in the near future.
5. (Transport and Carbon Footprint) On your next holiday, what would be your choice. Fly - Drive - Swim? Haven't been on holiday for years, and I quite like Blackpool/London, so it would likely be train. I guess this kind of answers the next question too...
6. (Public Transport) What would be your choice of transport on your next trip to London, Blackpool or the Lakes? See above, but if I was visiting Blackpool/Morecambe from Lancaster I would probably take the bus rather than the train. Train travel is probably my favourite type of travel though so if I had to pick one for all three it would obviously be train, as it is the most efficient for my needs.

I don't want to debate my views really, because my answers are all there with reasoning, but I agree that it is interesting to compare with other ideas.
