And also we're hoping to collate candidate responses to surveys on
YourNextMP.
The main problem with such a thing is how people know to use it. I'm
sure there are sites out there which try to do it, but no-one knows
about them so people won't check them before emailing about concerns
already answered.
The best I can suggest is to put those sort of template responses on
your website - that way people will find them when they're looking for
your contact details. Maybe WriteToThem could encourage this in some way.

The project Democracy Club& mySociety is working on now will go some
way towards this -- a mixture of up to maybe 4 local questions and
maybe 6 - 10 national questions will be put to each and every
candidate and made available online.

A creative commons for aggregation of candidate questions with the
dissemination of answers.
I've always wanted to do this ... big challenge ... assuming many interest
group generated questionaires is that candidates like to emphasize different
messages based on who is asking the question.

I have had lots of individual questions from voters, some very similar to
each other which obviously get very similar replies.
However I have also had some standard cut and pasted questions over and over
and over ! Some email and some, the same, by post.
I think it would be far more useful if the standard questions could be
hosted somewhere online, and then each candidate could answer them once, and
each candidates reply could be seen along side the others.
Some of the questions/responses received are to be published on
organisations website or magazines etc but a single website where a
candidate can login an answer the whole lot in one go would be very useful.
A sort of 'The Straight Choice' from candidates questionnaires.
The worst thing about some of the questionnaires is those from organisations
that you know are going to hate you for your responses - while you are
equally sure that most other candidates will be doing a 'no show' rather
than actually giving honest (if unpopular) responses - but I guess sticking
your head above the parapet and getting (undeserved) flack is the difference
between believing in democracy with an informed electorate and just being a
'politician'.
