I will be heartily disappointed if the Tories don't manage to say everything they say they will....

I know, ask him if he, the leader of the new 'Green Party', regrets gouging out Twyford Down and decimating one end of the South Downs rather than putting the M3 in a tunnel?

When he says we'll get a referendum on the EU - what does he mean? Will we get the option to vote for leaving it completely?

Will he apply the same anti-corruption laws of the Commons to the Lords, and kick out convicts like Archer?

Would he, as some countries of similar size do, accept a procedure to go to referendum on any subject raised by a petition of 300,000 people or more?

Will he put a limit on the amount of money big business can give to lobbying firms, most specifically arms suppliers and media groups?

Will he stop the selling arms to regimes that use them in war crimes?

Would he stop the St Athan Military Academy and undertake not to further privatise the military in the way the US have done?

Would he undertake not to appoint ANYONE to a life peerage specifically to give them a job in his government?

Can he state what he thinks is meant by "an ethical foreign policy"?

With the proposed new rail investments, how much of the expenditure is envisaged to come from the tax payer and private investors, and will enough profits be returned to the tax payer to cover the expenditure?

Will he undertake to reduce the time limits on Freedom of Information access to cabinet and government documents to seven years?
