Question Time Round 1

Day 16: Radio Suffolk Question Time recorded with all 4 candidates due to be aired 30th April. This is question time with first time voters in the Prospect Theatre at GCUS. A very good range of questions from job prospects, health priorities, fuel prices, higher education, "free schools" policy and expenses.
A good natured affair on the whole with just 1 exchange of hostility between Yeo and Campbell-Bannerman on Mr Yeo's expenses which was clearly pre-planned by UKIP. The audience was the 17-18 year olds, it was their questions but didn't the sitting MP and MEP play to the radio audience. As a result the feedback from the young people and staff was clear that I had been the most direct in answering the questions.

Next, Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, beautiful location and buidings and a thoughtful and lively Q & A after I spoke for a short period to introduce myself, explain why I'm a Lib Dem and what the main policies issues are. I really enjoyed it, a highlight so far, time flew by.
Good luck to Lizzie the student Lib Dem candidate there.
