- Who are our elected representatives representing?
- Is there any 'Power without accountability' and if so, who are these people?
- Can a voter express their views effectively through their vote?
- Is there any democracy beyond politics?

Getting interviewees
In many ways, a documentary is only as interesting as the people who take part. For this reason, we are trying to assemble a cast of interviewees with varied backgrounds and opinions. It’s clear we have an initial opinion but we want to be fair and balanced (a hallmark of all Hawkinsian Productions) and we are willing to learn and, depending on what we learn, happy to be proved wrong.
