NATIONAL ISSUES
The 2010 general election left no one party with a majority (Conservative 307 Labour 258 Lib Dem 57 Others 28).
Given the problems facing the country and the need for a stable government, do you think Nick Clegg did the right thing by joining a coalition to tackle those problems?
Yes  No Not sure
Do you think the Coalition is right to make cutting debt and getting the economy moving its top priority?
Yes  No Not sure

FAIR VOTING
Next year there will be a referendum on reforming the current unfair and outdated voting system. Click here for an explanation of the Alternative Vote system.
Will you support a change to the Alternative Vote system?
Yes  No Not sure

PRIORITIES
During the election Nick Clegg set out four priorities which we wanted to introduce when in government. Can you rate them in order of importance (most important first)
Fairer taxes that put money back into your pocket paying no tax on the first £10,000 earned – cutting most tax bills by £700 and lifting many low-earners out of tax.
A fair chance for every child more money into schools with extra cash for the most deprived children.
A fair future: create jobs by making Britain greener investing in public transport, renewable energy and energy-efficient homes.
A fair deal for you from the politicians make politicians accountable and give you the right to sack corrupt MPs
