I am an 18 year old film maker and first time voter. I am trying to see if the Liberal Democrats really are as democratic as they say, and to test whether they really will give the change they offer.
Inspired by Clegg and his underdog story, he has changed my political allegiances and I want to question him on some topics to see behind the facade and see whether he really is as good as we hope.
The interview will be straight up, real time, no cuts and filmed on a single camera and be posted on youtube. This has never been done before and it is a tribute to the power of people.
Please sign this petition to show that it isn't just a rubbish, spur of the moment idea and has some depth and will provide interest to the public seeking more answers.
The questions will be on a broad range of topics but feel free to leave a comment with any question you wish. As for my interviewing credentials-I have grilled Jeremy Hunt, Tory MP before, made an hour and a half interview-based documentary film and was the first student to get full marks with my speaking and listening exam at my last school.
Not much, but it is a testament, again, to the will of one person-why should the BBC get to interview Clegg, what portion of the public do they represent? Detached. That's what. How about some reality people?
The Liberal Democrats are ignoring my emails so we need to turn up the volume on their social media pages. Post the link to this petition on their official Facebook wall today. Send a message to your local party representative demanding they let me sit down with Nick Clegg.

The momentum behind this interview is proof that people want real answers instead of polished press releases. Email your local representatives today to tell them you expect this sit-down to happen. Post the petition link to your Facebook feed right now so we can keep building this pressure.
