__Proposed Questions:__
1) Why am I expected to have two pieces of cable to my house for internet competition, but only one set of power lines?
(Asked)

-2) Do you think that the current ComCom decision limiting upstream speeds to 128kps, does not truly reflect both the advances in technology, as well as the reality of most recent broadband applications?
3) Where do small businesses fit into the current plan? There is no way you can do offsite backups feasibly under current environment, nor are SME's able to pay the huge ammounts for full rate plans... What does your party plan to do about this?

+19) Electronic Voting? Why have we not done this? It seems that there is no good technological or paranoid reason that we do not allow electronic voting? Don't you think that allowing Web/ and electronic voting would (which could be spread over a period of time...) would masively increase voter turn out in this country? Considering the last elections saw the lowest voter turn out ever.

+17) Is the European councils decision on not allowing universal software patents in the EU, likely to affect the proposed draft patent act, which is current in the final stages of review, and currently allows for software patents?

4) In terms of legal implications of Digital Media, how does your party intend to ensure that fair use is not compromised under hetrogenious IP regimes such as TRIPS? And will you allow for individuals to retain thier current rights in thier ability to lend/copy and transcode media (Do you support strong DRM(Digital Restrictions Management reigmes?)
5) Where does your party stand, in ensuring that OpenDocument formats, such as Oasis, are formally introduced and used both internally and externally in government?

15) Do you ever plan on completing the copyright review, which has been underway for over 10 years?
16) Do you personally believe that a person has a right to be in possession of information, and has a human right not to be persecuted for being in possession of information, regardless of how they came into possession the information originally (not an issue of transmittion, just of being in posession)? If not why?

18) You've said that you think that restricting certain types of traffic is bad; what about services that specifically prohibit certain traffic types, like Vodafone's new 3G service which prohibits VoIP? And telecoms terms and services on residential plans, which make every user in breach.
