Imagine being a student at Oxford University, often cited as one of the finest universities in the world. One of my professors quoted "once you graduate at Oxford, you can pretty much do anything." If you had the finances, would you apply?

I'm about to graduate this year so, no! I chose not to apply when I was seventeen because I was a crazed party animal and couldn't have hacked it.

Margaret Thatcher, Britain first female prime minister died earlier at the age of 87. Did she influenced you in any way?

Absolutely... She inspired me to get into politics. Whilst I don't feel the affinity towards her I used to have both due to my own radicalisation and studying her policies in more detail, that still makes her death very sad to me (and also she was definitely the best of a bad bunch!)

Can you think of any old content that just wouldn't make it past TV censors these days for whatever reason? For example, I don't think a man with a gay porn name like "Dick Dastardly" would be allowed on a children's TV show if proposed by writers today.

Haha! Enid Blyton had some pretty dodgy names. I distinctly recall a Dick and Fanny... Also her books were kind of racist.

What inspired the move from Conservative to Libertarian?

I've never actually been a conservative, looking back - I used to be a classical liberal in the Conservative party, then I was a libertarian in the Conservative party, now I'm just a libertarian.

Should smacking children be considered child abuse? ( Taps, not bruising smacks). Should teachers be allowed to punish a child this way, if parents can?

Yeah, definitely. I think it's still coercion. Parents shouldn't have physical power over their children, children aren't property.

Do you have any experience running in fun-runs, half marathons, marathons or triathlons?

God no... I'm woefully unfit.

How do you save money? What are some handy money saving ideas that you know of?

I haven't been shopping in about six months, I don't go to expensive bars or clubs, I drink the cheapest alcohol I can tolerate. Only having to be self-reliant in a uni town makes all these things easier than it would in London, granted.

Would you respond better to a personal trainer with a demeanor like a drill sergeant or one with a gentler approach?

Gentler approach.

Should political parties be banned?

I think they should be banned from being able to gain political power, but voluntary organisations should never be banned.

What is the most important political issue of the next election?

To me, taxation taxation taxation.
To the public, probably still rather vague notion of how the economy is performing. Although depressingly I think immigration is up there pretty high too.

David Cameron or Nigel Farage?

Both as bad as each other. Although I have no personal animosity towards Cameron, whereas I do towards Farage...

Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

I AM A WOMAN OF PEACE
If it came down to it I'd say the 100 duck-sized horses, they were easier in the Kongregate.com game version of this question
