Sir Menzies Campbell, who was Lib Dem leader before Nick Clegg, has not given any long interviews since the general election. But I'm doing one with him tomorrow afternoon. What would you like me to ask?
Campbell is one of the Lib Dem grandees who is seen as instinctively more pro-Labour than pro-Conservative and there are plenty of coalition policies worth discussing.
He has already said that he will vote against a rise in tuition fees – "My credibility would be shot to pieces if I did anything other than to stick to the promise I made [to oppose a rise]," he told the BBC last month – and, in the light of today's announcement, it will interesting to see if he knows how many other Lib Dem MPs will rebel. Housing benefit, the spending cuts and control orders are also worth raising. Anything else?
I'll also ask about the coalition more generally. Campbell has a good relationship with Gordon Brown, and Campbell was one of the Lib Dems that Brown spoke to after the election when the then-prime minister was trying to hold on to power through a Labour-Lib Dem coalition, and I'd like to hear more about that.
In the summer, in an interview for Nick Robinson's documentary, Five Days that Changed Britain, Campbell expressed some reservations about the coalition. "If you have a dog ... for long enough, eventually you begin to look like your pet," Campbell said. "Well, if you have a coalition partner, then it seems to me there's a very grave risk eventually you'll come to look like them." Does he think that is happening?
In his memoirs Campbell wrote: "I see my life as one of experience and not of achievement." And yet, as you can see from his Wikipedia entry, he ran for Britain at an Olympics final, he is a QC and he led one of Britain's major parties. You're welcome to suggest questions on these topics too.
