Did anyone else get an email from Corbyn canvassing for questions from his first PMQs?

What should the UKMT question be? Mine would be something on austerity, but I'm not sure how to phrase it. Any ideas?

I suggested something about how the tories will elect their next leader - will it be a democratic polling of members or a closed book MP vote. Given the inevitable sneery stab from Dave about unions/entryists this seems like a good direction to take things - Labour aren't afraid of their union links or the broad base of members who elect our leaders, are the Tories afraid to open their voting system up to democracy?

Basically anything that gets the in-fighting between Gideon the heir-apparent and the rest of the contenders can only be a good thing.

Oddly I have, although I'm not a member or supporter.. maybe because I used to be in the GMB, or perhaps because I filled in a survey before the GE

I might just go with 'What are the chances you will actually give a straight answer to this question?"

But seriously though, how to phrase the austerity question? I really want to work out a way to phrase it that asks the question without using the word 'austerity'.

2 of my relatives have joined the labour party today. I think the post corbyn signups are going to be huge in being yet another stamp of approval from the public for him and his policies. We might even be looking at a return to mass participation in political parties, practically overnight.
