I have been selected to host an all candidates forum in my area, the parties running are the big four, Liberal, NDP, conservative and Green. To set the scene a little bit, I live in rural BC and the conservative candidate has one three landslide victories in a row. I hate the bastard and he hates me, I have gotten under his skin every election, to the point where he recognizes me a block away and crosses the street to avoid an encounter.
Anyway I have to compile a list of questions to ask the four candidates. Please note that these questions can not be OBVIOUSLY biased although my main goal is makeing a fool of the conservatives. Please make suggestions, these are questions I have so far.(note C=conservative, L=liberal etc...)
1. Lowering the GST from 7 to 5 percent is a huge part of the conservative platform.
(L,N,G)-In the event of a conservative minority would any of the other parties support a bill in the house of commons to make this happen?
©-hat would your party do to get this bill passed or would you abandon it?
2. Acountability of government has shown its self to be a major issue in this election,
(all)-What makes your leader any more qualified to lead this country then his opponents?
3. We would all like to form the government, but political change is very slow
(all)-What are your parties realistic exspectations of this election?
4. Party funding is an issue that has recived a lot of coverage in BC because of the banning of both coperate and union donations,
(all)-Where does your party funding come from, and why are these sorces contributeing, is there some knid of quid pro quo in place?
5. Western Alienation is becomeing more nd more of an issue with youg people in this part of the country,
(all)-Do you find it unfair that elections can be decided before the polls close in BC? What would your party do to fix that?
Thanks for your time and any input would be great.
