Over the last week, I have been interviewed by pupils attending various different local schools, as part of the BBC School Report inititaive. It encourages budding young journalists to conduct interviews - not necessarily with MPs - and publish their films online.

Today, it was the turn of Year 8 students at Hinchley Wood School, who gave me a grilling on getting youngsters more engaged in politics, the government's free schools policy, changes to the school curriculum, and the prospects for online voting.
