I'm afraid you're going to have to take the cons with the pro's on this one mate. You can always do what every politician does. They ask the question, but you give the answer. And the answer doesn't have to be the answer to their question.
So, just have them fire off their question, and then you can answer by mentioning the points that you think are important, irrelevant of the question at hand. With any luck they'll look at it as political professionalism.
Too many people that run for office think they are voted in on issues and policies they champion. While it is, in fact, a popularity contest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKAfKprBXQc
They have emailed back and clarified that every candidate will be getting equal time. From their email it looked to me like most of us would be playing bit parts. So have said that I'll be along.
