1. Surely the solution to future economic crises is to have stable government policy to increase long-term confidence, and higher capital requirements for banks so they can respond more efficiently the next time a financial crisis strikes. Why do politicians seem to think complex and potentially damaging policies like excessive regulation and financial transaction taxes are the right way to go, when they will probably end up making a recovery more difficult by strangling the banking system?
 
2. Anti-scientific attitudes are far too common among all of the parties. Advocacy of things like homeopathy, opposition to nuclear energy, xenotransplantation, genetically modified foods and denial of the very existence of anthropogenic global warming cut across party lines and reaches even the ministerial level. Why are our current and potential representatives from all of the parties so scientifically illiterate, and why is nobody doing anything about it?
 
3. Tolerance is an important cultural and moral value for Britain, but why do politicians seem to be willing to sacrifice the truth in order to not offend people?
 
4. Government surveillance is growing and the rights of citizens are being eroded. The length of potential detention without trial has grown since the '80s, extra-legal collection of metadata and co-operation with agencies like the NSA is widespread and Scotland Yard has collected the medical information of certain journalists and their families. While some of these measures are necessary for security, when will we say enough is enough?
 
5. Are you willing to admit that multiculturalism--by promoting competing value systems among a single population--has led to various problems such as tension with the Islamic community and inefficiency in combating the child abuse scandals in Rochdale and Oxfordshire? Ethnicity, of course, is not the problem; the problem is the existence of incompatible ideas of morality.
 
6. The NHS is dying. We ought to be looking to the systems of the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Singapore for inspiration in how to revitalise the healthcare system; why do politicians encourage this religious attitude towards the NHS by promising to do things like ring-fence funding and raise taxes? Aren't we just prolonging the inevitable death of an inefficient system?
 
7. Brain drain, capital flight and low levels of high-skilled immigration have led to an under-supply of skilled labour, driving up wages at the top faster than wages at the bottom. Even if you're not in favour of broadly open borders, will you admit that more high-skilled immigration would be massively beneficial for both the economy and remedying inequality?
