Paul Hilder (Lewisham, Avaaz.org): Do you have a question for Britain's new foreign secretary David Miliband? A statement, piece of advice, warning or encouragement? Our million-strong global advocacy network, Avaaz.org, has agreed to co-host Miliband's first speech this Thursday - because he's agreed to take questions and challenges from people around the world.
If OurKingdom readers have pertinent questions about the future of British foreign policy, which throws up both practical and constitutional issues, then you can ask them now. Just go to the Avaaz site at this link - and leave your question there, or follow the links to upload a YouTube question.
This is an opportunity to bring people and power closer together. (And the indications are that British foreign policy may be shifting for the better - albeit in a painstaking, zig-zag fashion.)
In his speech Miliband looks set to explore how global power shifts demand a new kind of diplomacy, and ask how Britain can build better multilateral cooperation and alliances. Global public opinion has been called the ‘new superpower': this is one of the power shifts we need to understand. But there's still a huge gap between the world that most people want and the world we have... and there's much to do, at home and abroad.
So ask Miliband a question, or send him words of advice, warning or encouragement. After all, he got Lebanon right. We need good leaders who can genuinely listen - and maybe even one day change their minds...
