Geoffrey Settle Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Only five weeks to go and most candidates have declared: If you could ask them a key question what would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would ask them what measures they are going to take to conserve the environment and improve biodiversity not just in Warrington but across the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would ask them if they knew where my house keys were as I had them when I came in (I must have had them or I wouldn't have got in and be sitting here typing this now) but for the life of me I can't find them anywhere now. Gawd !! Well you did ask for 'key' questions Geoff....sorry Other than that I can't actually think of a more sensible question to ask any hopeful candidate, most are full of cr*p nonsense and false promises they rarely keep or can even keep anyway...oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I would ask them who is currently running the country when we have no parliament and if they are making a better job of it than you politicians. if you really want to watch them squirm a bit then ask any prospective candidate this question. "Do you intend to fiddle more or less expenses than your rival candidates?" Whatever answer the give can be construed as admitting that their rivals fiddle expenses and or that they do.

observer Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 There's only one "key question", and it looks like the electorate are answering it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Oh well I did try and coax some questions out of posters but alas poor Yorick ......... I didn't have the right key and Dizzy has been burgled - I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think the answer to your conundrum Geoff is in your original post - "IF" you could ask a candidate a key question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 You would still have to get them into a corner before you could ask your question Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Here's a question - will you support the Labour Party whip if elected under the Labour Party banner ? Reason - it appears that scores of "moderates" are threatening to go independent in Parliament, if (when) Corbyn gets thrashed. So no principles in play here, just the usual prima-donna self interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks Geoff. Shame as I'd have liked to have listened to that to hear what the 'hopefulls' have to say but 1pm is a silly time as I'll be in work and I guess a lot of other people will be too. Never mind though eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I wouldn't say that South Warrington is a 'safe seat'. The proposed mass housing developments on Appleton & Grappenhall green fields are currently the most important issue that has affected these areas in decades. The fact the Tory government has made it easier for developers to encroach on the green belt and use increasingly more greenfield sites for housing will not be a vote catcher for David Mowatt. Add to that the fact he appears to be sitting on his *** and doing nothing to help the people he is paid to represent - starkly in comparison to Helen Jones N. Warrington who puts up a fight for green fields in her constituency. But, on saying that......the other candidates seem also to be sitting on their ***** in relation to this. So are any of these individuals worth voting for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Depends whether your interested in local or national issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
