DP Debate Format Tale VII - 4th DP Election, Sunday, January 17 2016, 3PM EST/20:00 UTC

The debate provides an opportunity for DP candidates to express their opinions on issues relevant to Egypt's population, so responding to questions from citizens is important. However, due to the nature of the Egypt-wide chat channels, it can be difficult to express coherent responses due to interrupting comments. Also, a one or two minute time limit for answers doesn't always allow enough time for a thorough, thoughtful response.

For this debate there will be two parts:

  • Normal question and answer, like we have now. But limited to perhaps 7-9 questions.
  • Pre-answered questions.

The way the pre-answered questions would work is this:

  • Two or three days prior to the debate, an announcement is made that questions may be submitted for the debate. The questions must be posted to a web page designated, e.g. Third DP Debate Questions.
  • Each candidate is instructed to identify 3 questions from those submitted as "Accepted" and prepare answers for them prior the debate.
  • Answers to the accepted questions will be submitted to the moderator at the start of the debate.


The actual debate might be structured thus:

  • Opening remarks from each candidate.
  • One question from the audience.
  • While the candidates are preparing an answer to the first question, the first of the pre-answered questions and answers can be posted. That will allow the candidates time to work on their answers to the question from the audience. Candidates have 7 Pluri-minutes from the time question is posted to answer.
  • Repeat that, alternating between live audience questions and pre-answered questions.
  • Closing remarks.


Question List

The candidates will be selecting up to Three questions each. The candidates have agreed to answer all of the questions selected by either candidate, and will prepare those answers prior to the debate. If you question is not selected, you can always submit it during the debate for possible inclusion then. In addition, the moderator may also select a question from the list for the candidates to answer prior to the debate.

Please enter your name and question in the table below.
