IN the next three months the people of Great Britain will decide whether David Cameron should be Prime Minister.
The General Election is being billed as potentially the most important in decades, determining who will lead Britain out of the deepest financial crisis to hit the nation since the 1930s.
Voters will be asking themselves whether Gordon Brown is fit to continue, and whether David Cameron is ready to take over.
Now Oxford Mail readers have the chance to get their questions put directly to the Conservative Party leader and Witney MP.
For an upcoming interview, we want you tell us what we should ask him.
Our reporter will put the best questions submitted by our readers to Mr Cameron, and print the answers we get from the man who wants to be your Prime Minister.
You can ask about specific policies, his vision for Britain, his character and background, or why he feels he should lead the country.
Mr Cameron’s links with Oxfordshire go back decades.
Having grown up just south of the county in Berkshire in the 1970s, he studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, in the 1980s, where one friend says he avoided student politics because “he wanted to have a good time”.
After working at the Conservative Research Department, as special adviser to Cabinet Ministers, and as Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications, he became MP for Witney in 2001.
After winning the Conservative Party leadership four years later, he has sought to modernise the party, emphasising plans to reform public services, promote environmental causes and recruit more non-traditional MPs to the Tory benches.
Political pundits and opinion polls agree he has made the party electable for the first time this millennium.
But the economic crisis has made the political landscape unstable – nobody knows what will happen this spring when the country heads to the polls.
Just a few weeks ago, Mr Cameron looked all-but-certain to become Britain’s first Conservative Prime Minister in 13 years.
Now, with the polls tightening, the bookmakers’ odds have begun to lengthen.
To get to Number 10, Mr Cameron needs to win your votes and answer your questions, so now is your chance to put one of the country’s leading politicians on the rack.
