Weekly Survey: Zero hours, Axelrod - and do you care if you MP is "local"?

Ed Miliband made a set of commitments last week, pledging that a Labour government will crack down on some aspects of zero hours contracts – but does this go far enough? Or too far?

In campaigning news – Labour recently unveiled David Axelrod as an advisor to the party ahead of the election. Are you happy with the appointment? And a report from Demos suggests that nearly 3/4 Labour MPs are “local”. Do you care if your MP is from your local area?

Also in our survey – it was St George’s Day last week, did you celebrate it?

This is your chance to have your say. The survey is here, and closes at Noon on Thursday
