The Leaders' Checklist

The same fifty questions, put to the people asking to run the country rather than to sit in it. Not a harder test — the identical one, which is the point.

This page is for the Prime Minister and party leaders. It is word for word the checklist every MP is given, so the answers can be read side by side. Nothing is published until it has been verified as coming from the signer's own parliamentary mailbox.

Which leader is signing this?

Every other MP answers the same fifty questions on the MP page. If you lead a party and are not in the list above, that is a gap in what Parliament publishes about who holds which office, not a judgement — tell us and you will be added.

Declaration

A box you leave unticked is an answer, not a gap — it is recorded exactly as you left it, and so is anything you write. Your answers are published as you wrote them, beside the current figure and the date we sourced it. We do not mark them.

I am the MP named above, these are my own answers, and I am content for them to be published in full.

No account, no cookie, nothing stored about who filled this in beyond the answers themselves and the MP named above. Nothing is published from this page until the verification step is built and passed.
