People are realising that Green policies are about so much more than the environment. We’re committed to combatting fuel poverty, getting fairer wages, improving human rights and liberties, basic democracy and, of course, challenging climate change.

The Mayoral election is virtually guaranteed to be decided on second round votes (to make sure of this any vote other than for Boris Johnson will help to make sure he doesn’t get 50% to win in round one). In a two-round contest, people are completely free to vote for who they want in the first round, which means if people vote Green first, their second vote will still count as a full vote n the final round.

So, by voting Siân 1, Ken 2, you actually have two full votes counted for the price of one, which I think is a bargain.

keithwhu asked Paul Williams: "How are music charts compiled these days? If they are solely based on CD sales, how accurate an idea of a bands popularity can they give?"

So that includes CD’s, vinyl and downloads...." Show more»" The charts are extremely accurate; in fact they are more accurate than they’ve ever been. They’re based on every conceivable music sale that can be recorded. So that includes CD’s, vinyl and downloads. In terms of what recorded music was sold last week they couldn’t be more accurate. However in terms of what the charts tell us these days; although they tell us about one aspect of popularity, they are no longer the perfect guide to tell you who the most popular acts at this moment are. They will tell you who are the most popular acts in terms of selling music, but there lots of other factors now that determine how popular artists are. For instance, how much they gross from touring, how many hits they have on MySpace, how many times they appear on TV and the radio. There are all sorts of measurements nowadays. It’s only by looking across different factors that you can make any kind of judgement about artist popularity. If you were to look at the music charts over the last twenty years to judge how successful the Rolling Stones have been during that period you would think that they had lost their way and must be struggling now. But if you look at their touring revenue you think wow they’re the biggest band on the planet. "Show less«

Could there ever be a band that worked entirely in a live sphere and didn’t release any studio music? Yes, I could easily see that there could be an artist who would do that. Bear in mind that Led Zeppelin never released singles, and that was considered the big money earner at the time. So some bands could certainly operate entirely in the live sphere. Studio recording, in terms of the album, is definitely breaking down. People are beginning to experiment by sending out one-off tracks, but some bands will always want to do albums. But I think the standard package of single, album and tour is definitely beginning to break down now. I think that the whole point of the new digital world is that it will deliver a number of choices. The most dangerous thing that you can ever do in this new sphere is say that something is impossible, because actually everything is possible. "Show less«

keithwhu asked Steve Bennedik: "Derry Nairn asks: If you were to be appointed media adviser to a parent whose child had been abducted, what advice would you give them, in the light of the McCann's experiences?"

Show more»" I would advise them to work very closely with the police and to consider the detectives' advice. I would advise them that public exposure should be channelled to one aim, finding out what has happened to your child. Having covered a few stories where parents have lost their children through death or abduction, I know some parents don't always behave rationally in these circumstances. But who would? I find it hard to imagine the strain these parents' must be going under. "Show less«

Show more»" The media coverage of the McCann case should be considered in the context of developments over a seven-month-period, not looking back with the benefit of hindsight. When Madeleine first went missing, the media had a justifiable interest in reporting the story. Later, there was coverage of the police investigation and family appeals. Since the McCann’s returned to the UK, I think there has been less justification for coverage. But I think it's too easy to look back and label all that's happened as "satisfying peoples' morbid curiosity". "Show less«
