There is going to be a long campaign leading up to the next general election. If a candidate knocks on your door, looking for your vote, what questions should you ask them?
Before a previous election I (with the help of some friends) came up with the following list. I think its still a good one,
• What is your view on abortion?
• What are your plans for care of the elderly?
• What would you like to do to reduce the problem of debt in our society?
• How would you like to deal with the growing drugs problem?
• What is you position on euthanasia?
• Would you support policies that enabled churches to receive Government funding for social action projects without compromising their religious character?
• What is your policy regarding third world debt?
• What would you like to do to strengthen family life & marriage?
• Do you support more stringent controls on pornography?

The single most important question to prospective parliamentary representatives is one which seeks to expose their opinion on sustainability - environmental, social and economic. As a society we are already too self absorbed casued by way too much navel gazing. If people do not step up to their reponsibiliites to future generations by safegaurding ... Read morethe planet we live on, the communities we live in and the global economy we depend upon, there will be no pregnancies to abort, no elderly people, no credit cards, no drugs, no money, no families, no marriages and no pornography. Organisations that need to be pedalling the importance of sustainable living include churches as well as local and national administrations.
