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. -t On 30/03/10 21:07, Seb Bacon wrote: > 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. > > http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/projects/ > > Seb > > On 30 March 2010 20:05, Steven Clift<[email protected]> wrote: > >> 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. >> >> Steven Clift >> http://stevenclift.com >> @democracy >> >> On Mar 30, 2010 1:43 PM, "paul perrin"<[email protected]> wrote: >> >> 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 !
