Here are the questions the candidates have been asked:

1 What are your policies on coalitions within the government, are there any parties/individuals you would rule out joining with to form a majority administration and equally, any you would happily join with.

2 What is your position on PFI and PPP? Will you be fighting for or against any current or future planned projects in Dundee?

3 What is your positioning on drugs? Would you support any Met like softening on cannabis possession, or opening of cannabis cafes in Dundee? Are you for either legalisation or decriminalisation

4 What is your policy on boundary changes within the city? Given the widening of the Westminster Ward to include Monifieth and Invergowrie etc do you support a reversal of Tory gerrymandering to return these areas into the cities boundaries or a wider Tayside council?

5 What is your position on the building of mobile phone and TETRA masts within your constituency, especially when near schools or other sensitive buildings?

6 What is your position on student fees/top up fees/grants/loans?

7 What are your plans for youth employment? Not only New Deal/YTS type schemes, but also minimum wage and how this does not fully protect youth under 18/21 from exploitation.

8 Predict the seats! What do you think the outcome of the election will be, rough numbers, percentages or majority of winners are all appropriate answers.

9 Do you support the lowering of the voting age to try and attract more young people to vote given less than 1/3 of 18-24 year olds intend to vote.

10. What's your stance on: Stem Cell research, Vivisection, Criminal DNA profiling, Choosing the sex of babies?

11. Whats your position on the war in Iraq, as well as any future one? (Iran and Syria, Bush is looking at you)

12. The tsunami gained massive public sympathy and solidarity, what will you do to ensure that unlike previous disasters the UK and others provide the aid thats been pledged?

13. A few people on the forum (mainly students with 1 year leases) have had problems with landlords, what would your housing policies do to address cowboy factors trying to dodge doing repairs to houses, trying to dodge giving deposits back and generally being bad landlords?

14 Finally are there any policies you wish to implement and I have not addressed?
