Again, sorry to bother you. Now it works. With a delay. I do not understand, why it does not get published at the time I set up in the calendar. But does not matter. Main thing is that it gets posted after all. Have a nice day.

Hi Ruth!
How are you doing?
Well, about the speakers in Rotterdam, I have no names to propose, but I just suggest that we could have somebody that have been covering the campaign, in national or local level, in sense of candidates, comparing parties, explaining the people their options.
I know I'm not descovering anything original....but just to express what could be interesting to listen, from my point of view.
thanks!

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for your response.

I have read through all the infomation on this site on that tab and have followed most other links at least once but am still unclear as to what role you would like me personally to play in this process. I am neither young, involved in journalism nor am I a professional blogger, just an addict. As I am not one of the 81 people you invited to contribute this competition, should I be treating this site like all the other sites I visit?, offering up my own posts, rebuttals and opinions, or should I just be commenting upon those made by the invited participants and voting on them. Do I need to join a group and are my contributions eligible for winning anything or is it explicitly for those invited?.

Sorry if I am missing something that seems obvious to you but I keep trying to chat with people on here in the chat room to ask but there seems to be very little activity going on there. Thanks for your help. Stephen
