Re: Questioning the MEP Candidates (4.00 / 3)

I think asking people who have not been MEPs to name specific votes is setting the bar a little on the high side...

Maybe rephrase it as "a major political decision where you would have been willing to break ranks with your group."

I think it would be prudent to have a division between questions for candidates that have already served one or more term, and questions for those that are new.

Re: Questioning the MEP Candidates (4.00 / 3)

I think it's interesting to see if they have been paying attention to the EP for the past 5 years.

I would accept "REACH" or "the services directive" or "the working time directive" as an answer even if technically it is not a single "vote" but a collection of them.

Re: Questioning the MEP Candidates (none / 1)

After a diary has fleshed out the questionnaire we could consider posting the questionnaire in a form to which candidates could voluntarily respond by posting as a diary or as a long comment under the European Elections head. Unless there is concern about spam posts.
