And your point is, caller...?

Ed Miliband. I googled the name to make sure I spelled it right. You know, the one people think is called David. Not good at eating in public but working on it. Tried at the weekend to persuade us he has a sense of - gulp -"fun" and can take a joke.

There will be a UK election in May 2015 (I'm hoping by then it'll be a rUK election) and Ed is trying to come up with some good ideas. But not for him dumping Trident, shoring up the NHS, sorting out education in England (that shambles is going to be a real eye-opener now that Michael Gove has moved on), repairing the cash-strapped police service, sorting the housing shortage, fixing the railways, restoring sense to the social security budget, jailing the bankers, persuading the public that EU membership is a good idea.

No, Ed wants audience participation at Prime Minister's Questions in Westminster. So many things to ask. Who'll pick the questioners? Who'll be responsible for ensuring fairness in the spread of questioners in terms of sex, race, political interests? Will there be an algorithm that will weed out the BNP and EDL supporters? I know there's a democratic deficit in the UK but I can't see this getting the voters revved up. Not unless questioners have the right to shout 'You're fired!' any time the PM looks shifty and can then watch him take the walk of shame. I can definitely see it being just like Any Questions and Any Answers on Radio 4 (now a serious embarrassment) or one of those terrible BBC Scotland political discussions chaired by Jackie Bird, carefully set up so that no one is allowed near a microphone except PLU - people like us - all carefully vetted.

No, the only way to do this is to make everybody take a turn at asking the PM a question. There are 46 million of us on the electoral roll. There are about 145 days a year when Parliament meets. (Blogmeister: Are you sure that's all? Yes. I checked.) Let's say that means about 20 PMQs a year. If 100 people get to ask a question each time, I reckon it could take 23,000 years before we all get a turn. Seems fair. It would take me that long to come up with a question.
