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?
