The nominations period for this Commons Speaker election has now closed. From those who announced on the thread, /u/countbrandenburg, /u/cthulhuiscool2, /u/britboy3456, /u/akc8, /u/twistednuke, /u/vitiating and /u/ctrlaltlama have advanced to the next stage. /u/davidswifty and /u/eponacorcra failed to submit a manifesto by the deadline and /u/sam-irl is not eligible and non-serious (but you can check out their manifesto here for sake of completeness).

This Q&A session will last until the 28th of August at 10pm. Anyone can ask as many questions as they like, but please do be considerate (and don't duplicate questions that have already been asked).

Candidates:

• /u/countbrandenburg - manifesto
• /u/cthulhuiscool2 - manifesto
• /u/britboy3456 - manifesto
• /u/akc8 - manifesto
• /u/twistednuke - manifesto
• /u/vitiating - manifesto
• /u/ctrlaltlama - manifesto

Serious, on topic questions only. I recommend that everyone uses this period wisely to ask proper questions and makes a decision on who to vote for based on the responses, manifestos, and acts on MHOC thus far - not on personality or allegiance.
