Some readers may remember the recent CNN-hosted debate between Democratic Presidential hopefuls in the United States, where all questions were provided by members of the public - they were invited to contribute via the video-sharing website YouTube.com.

Recently someone, already known to YouTube users for posting under his moniker ‘Mad White Jamaican’, posted a question for candidates in the current general election campaign:

“What are the benefits you believe that you’re opponent can bring to the table to help move our beautiful island forward?”

JamaicaElections.com also forwarded the question to the leadership of both main parties - the People’s National Party (PNP) and the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) - and is awaiting their response.

Perhaps you have or would like to similarly post a question to YouTube? Let us know and we will assist in getting a response from the politicians concerned.
