Depend­ing on your per­spect­ive the Gen­er­al Elec­tion AKA The big day/big letdown/The little same as it ever was is Septem­ber 20th which is less than a month away – How did that turn up so fast? One minute we were eat­ing our way through Wel­ling­ton on plate at a time and now we have to dis­en­gage the food part of the brain and turn on the polit­ic­al one. It’s so soon that vot­ing star­ted today for any­one who can­’t or does­n’t want to vote on the 20th.

We plan to ask the can­did­ates stand­ing in Wel­ling­ton Elect­or­ates ques­tions, and let you know the answers. But maybe you have ques­tions? If you could ask a pro­spect­ive mem­ber of par­lia­ment any­thing, what would it be?

Post in the com­ments, we’ll add it to our list and come up with a final list of 10 ques­tions we’ll be ask­ing all the can­did­ates. We are giv­ing them 30 words per answer (and trust us we have no shame in cut­ting politi­cians off mid sen­tence) and we’ll post their answers uned­ited (unlike my posts which usu­ally get the proofread­ing eye of Jo for qual­ity con­trol).

So what do you want to ask?
